Mysql problem

Hello guys,

Im new in RoR, trying to see how this works.
So the problem i have is with mysql.
I always get the error:

/Users/alexthiakos/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/mysql-2.8.1/lib/
mysql_api.bundle: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-12 patchlevel 174) [i686-darwin10.2.0]

when im trying to rake db:migrate.
I reinstall everything, i installed mysql with the archflag etc…

Any ideas?

Thx for the help!

I have a couple of other Seg Faults in 1.8.7p284, so you are not
alone.

Try switching to 1.9.1 or alike. Or take a step back to 1.8.6 (if you
don’t need Rails 3). If unsure how to switch ruby versions – use RVM.

Well i finally made it, i migrate my database! Dont ask me how tho
cause i really dont know!
I used every guide i could found in the web and one of them worked :P!

So should i start using 1.9? Or should i wait for rails 3 stable
release?
Is it a lot different from 1.8? Cause i develop along with
documentation since im a noob in RoR, and i dont want to mess up a lot
of the syntax until i learn it for good…

Anyway thx for the reply m8!
