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!
<-- clip starts -->
[root]# gem install mysql --
--with-mysql-config=/usr/lib/mysql/mysql_config

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.
