gem install mysql error

Filed under: Technology — scott @ 8:07 pm

On OS X 10.4.11 (no leopard yet!) when I try to install the mysql gem I get an error, something about native bindings.

ScottBook:~ root# gem update mysql

necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.

Gem files will remain installed in /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7 for inspection.
Results logged to /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7/gem_make.out

This should fix it (and yes after the first “–” there is another “–” preceeding the “/usr/local…” path).

sudo gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
