Hi, I’m trying to install mysql gem on ruby 1.9.1p129. Here the result : (do in root) gem1.9 install mysql – --with-mysql-config=/usr/bin/mysql\_config GET 304 Not Modified: [RubyGems.org | your community gem host](http://gems.rubyforge.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz) Installing gem mysql-2.7 /usr/lib/ruby1.9/gems/1.9.1/gems/mysql-2.7/COPYING /usr/lib/ruby1.9/gems/1.9.1/gems/mysql-2.7/COPYING.ja /usr/lib/ruby1.9/gems/1.9.1/gems/mysql-2.7/README.html /usr/lib/ruby1.9/gems/1.9.1/gems/mysql-2.7/README\_ja.html /usr/lib/ruby1.9/gems/1.9.1/gems/mysql-2.7/extconf.rb /usr/lib/ruby1.9/gems/1.9.1/gems/mysql-2.7/mysql.c.in /usr/lib/ruby1.9/gems/1.9.1/gems/mysql-2.7/test.rb /usr/lib/ruby1.9/gems/1.9.1/gems/mysql-2.7/tommy.css /usr/lib/ruby1.9/gems/1.9.1/gems/mysql-2.7/mysql.gemspec Building native extensions.

I have install “libmysqlclient16-dev” because I’m using mysql 5.1. I have found mysql\_version.h in package. Did I miss another package ? ---

I’m just starting learning myself rails. And well, I’m starting by installing lastest ruby (over package here [http://blog.celogeek.fr/linux/celogeek-ubuntu-jaunty-repos/](http://blog.celogeek.fr/linux/celogeek-ubuntu-jaunty-repos/) I have made). So now, installing rails is ok. Installing passenger is ok. I need mysql connection. So it’s my first issue. Thanks for your help. ---

Thanks ! hectoregm-mysql-ruby works ! I have clone the git repos and build the gem. After that I have install it. So it’s working ! It’s not in gem global repository yet. gem install hectoregm-mysql-ruby doesn’t work. Did I miss a source repository ?
