I am trying to create a new application on Mac OSX Leopard with MySql instead of Sqlite3, and I am having loads of trouble. I have installed mysql and I can connect properly through mysql -u root -p. I have also installed the MySQL C bindings for Ruby through: sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" gem install mysql – --with-mysql-config=/usr/ local/mysql/bin/mysql\_config. However, when I crate a new rails application with: rails -d mysql myapp And then I run rake db:migrate. I get: The bundled mysql.rb driver has been removed from Rails 2.2. Please install the mysql gem and try again: gem install mysql I have already installed the gem as outlined above, and it is still not working. Am I missing a configuration change somewhere? My database.yml file is set properly … cannot figure this out for the life of me. Somebody please help! ---

Did you get the 64bit version of mysql or the 32bit version? Fred ---

I tried downloading the 32bit version, because I know that the 64bit version has issues with Leopard. However, I am worried there might still be some remnants of a previous install on my computer. How can I check the version and ensure all of the 64bit files are deleted? On Jun 21, 3:16 am, Frederick C. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) ---

Try to take a look to your mySQL folder in /usr/local/ I had the same problem recently. I recommend you to rm it, reinstall the 32bits version and do the sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" gem install mysql – --with-mysql-config=/usr/ local/mysql/bin/mysql\_config thing. That should work.
