Anyone succeed in installing the mysql/ruby C bindings (2.7) with gcc  
3.2? I am not able to install gcc 4. Any help or direction would be  
appreciated!

I’m sorry if I’m being dense, but what’s the problem? Looks like the  
build finishes fine.

I thought so too, but indications from my rails app are that it is  
still using the native ruby bindings.

The same thing happened on my powerbook, then I recompiled with gcc 4,  
and everything worked fine. Unfortunately, I don’t have that option  
on the production server.
