Hello-
Trying to get rails up and running on my linux box with mysql. When I
try to install the mysql gem, I get the following:
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

I've tried setting the config option and other various things when
running 'gem install'.
Anyone know how to get around this? Thanks very much.

Thanks for the quick response.
No success with that either:

This is still not working and I have tried almost every configuration option possible. As a side question...when you run 'gem install mysql', what exactly does this do? Does it create a binding to an already installed version of MySQL? Does it install MySQL?? Thanks!

It compiles and installs a mysql driver used by ruby. You must have a previously installed version of mysql including headers and libraries. -Bill pete wrote: > >> ruby extconf.rb install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/ >> --without-opt-dir >> >>>> Trying to get rails up and running on my linux box with mysql.

Thanks Bill. Is there a dependency on the version of MySQL, I believe I am running an older version.
on 30.11.2007 17:44
It should work ok with 4.1or 5, but if I remember right, it recommends 5. I am using the latest 5 with no problems (5.0.45 I think). -Bill pete wrote: >> -Bill >>> >>>> >>>> necessary libraries and/or headers.

What about MySQL client? I don't believe the client is installed, only the server.
on 30.11.2007 18:35
It's very possible that it is looking for libmysqlclient (I am almost positive it does). Install the client / client libs and see if that solves your problem. -Bill pete wrote: >> >>>> It compiles and installs a mysql driver used by ruby.

Thanks! I have MySQL 5.0.45 installed along with the MySQL GUI tools.

I was facing this same issue. I just installed libmysqlclient15-dev on my syste (ubuntu 8.10) and could get gem mysql installed successfully William Pratt wrote: > It's very possible that it is looking for libmysqlclient (I am almost > positive it does).

This worked for me also. Wainer Moschetta wrote: > I was facing this same issue.

In particular, the following command worked: sudo gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config

Steps I needed on CentOS 5 linux were (in addition to installed 'normal'
mysql)
1. Install mysql-devel "yum install mysql-devel" as root
2. Find the location of mysql_config "locate mysql_config" and fix that
full path to "--with-mysql-config=" option
3. Success!

[root]# gem install mysql --

I found a blog post that solves this problem ( http://nmanzi.com/?p=39 ) and I turned it into a script so that you just have to run "./ install_mysql_ruby_adapter" http://github.com/thirdreplicator/install_mysql_ruby_adapter_for_ruby1.9/tree/master I run Ruby 1.9.1 on Ubuntu 8.04/8.10 and CentOS 5.2 with root access.

Whenever you can't build "native extensions", it means there is some lib or lib-dev missing. Generally you'll need to do a sudo apt-get install lib-???-dev, or sudo apt-get install build_essential. This time, I had to install the following: 'sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient15-dev' Unfortunately, there is NO EASY WAY (that I know of) to identify what is missing from the attempt to compile.

No definition for next_result No definition for field_name No definition for field_table ............ etc etc Does this mean another file is missing and is not having ri docs any big deal?

I was able to get an error free install on OSX Leopard 10.6.2 with the following. The first cds to the mysql gem location of my Leopard install (may differ for others): cd /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.8.1 sudo gem install mysql --no-rdoc --no-ri -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config There were many "No definition for..." RDoc and Ri errors otherwise. Just starting my first Ruby project... and not so comfortable with this install of the mysql gem. I expect there's possibly serious ramifications of excluding these two processes. Can anybody tell us what are we missing by resorting to these install parameters; and/or how can we install with ri and rdoc successfully? tia m

Google them to find details. Not having them will not affect the operation of the gem. Colin

I quickly found that out. I've posted instructions for resolving this issue at MySQL: http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?116,359591,359591#msg-359591 The described process determines vital paths for successful installation on potentially any system.

After much irc and googling, at last, I found your recent entry Mike and I also was able to get an error free install on OS X 10.6.3 with $ sudo gem install mysql --no-rdoc --no-ri -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config TX! huuan
