Hello! I’ve got same problem! Can’t continue working with Rails! I have OSX 10.5.6. Mysql 5.0.67, Latest Ruby , Rubygems, Rails 2.2.2, and mysl gem 2.7 installed in this way sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" gem install mysql – --with-mysql- dir=/usr/local/mysql --with-mysql-lib=/usr/local/mysql/lib --with- mysql-include=/usr/local/mysql/include --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/ mysql/bin/mysql\_config when I do rake db:migrate !! The bundled mysql.rb driver has been removed from Rails 2.2. Please install the mysql gem and try again: gem install mysql. rake aborted! no such file to load – mysql I’ve been googling for 3 days and none of the solutions work for me. I’ve reinstalled mysql ,ruby and rails several times… got same error. Please help! Thanks beforehand ---

Sure, mysql starts at startup, there is a mysql task in Activity Monitor, so mysql works, I can create and drop databases. I guess it’s different problem, something wrong with mysql.rb driver, although mysql 2.7 gem installed successfuly… ---

I have already tried this , the one for Leopard (I have 10.5.6) Today i reinstalled ruby ,rubygems, rails, mysql gem… it gives me same error all the way!!! !!! The bundled mysql.rb driver has been removed from Rails 2.2. Please install the mysql gem and try again: gem install mysql. rake aborted! no such file to load – mysql I don’t know what to do… Perhaps formating harddrive to non case- sensitive filesystem, and reinstalling entire system is the last I can do… I tried many ways… Didn’t you, guys having Leopard, encounter this problem with mysql.rb??? did you? Windows users have solution fixing this bug with some .dll, why Mac users don’t have it? Who had the same please assist! plsssss ---

UPDATE: I tried to install mysql gem in this way: sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" gem install mysql – --with-mysql- dir=/usr/local/mysql --with-mysql-lib=/usr/local/mysql/lib --with- mysql-include=/usr/local/mysql/include --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/ mysql/bin/mysql\_config --include-dependencies and the error has gone somehow… Could “–include-dependencies” make this?
