Successfully installed mysql-2.8.1
I get this with mysql gem and sqlite gem on 64 bit ubuntu. Is there a
undocumented dependency for making the docs…? I saw a similar post
but no solution any thing would help…

No definition is not a bug, is a warning from ri when trying to
generate documentation for C code.

Unless you’re using RI or rdoc, you can install the gem with --no-ri.

Next version of the gem will “solve” that.

Since people are talking about the mysql gem, I thought I’d ask how
you can build it under MinGW. I can’t seem to make any combination of
extconf switches work.

I have the standard Windows mysql-5.1.42-win32 installed in
/usr/local/mysql. Do I need some MinGW-specific version? (I’ve tried
compiling it from source with MSYS/MinGW and also Cygwin, with no
success.)
