Hello all,
I know this is not an uncommon question, but none of the
tutorials/tips solve my problem. I’ve got a linux machine running Ubuntu
10.4 with ruby, gem, rails, and xampp installed.
Now when I try to install the mysql gem (via: $sudo gem install mysql
-with-mysql-config=/opt/lampp/bin/mysql_config), I get:
Building native extensions. This could take a while…
ERROR: Error installing mysql:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.
Provided configuration options:
–with-opt-dir
–without-opt-dir
–with-opt-include
etc, etc…
What should I check?
Thanks in advance,
Dan
