I am really disappointed that rails 3.0 have a problem, big issue  
with mysql2.  
I googled and surprised that none of the ruby core developers  
mentioning this problem  
at least telling to people about this issue and solution to this  
problem.

Is there anybody who can tell what is going on?  
Thanks

I solved the problem - libmysqlclient-dev package should be installed.  
After that run the command:

rvm 1.9.2-head gem install mysql2
