Installing mysql ruby gem

Having problems installing the mysql ruby gem?

Locate your mysql_config file and then pass it in the mysql config when you install the mysql gem.

sudo gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql-5.1.32-osx10.5-x86/bin/mysql_config

That should address the following error:
sudo gem install mysql 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.
