Hi Group, I’ve got mysql database installed and the server running on a Mac Pro with latest mountain lion setup 10.8.3.
I’m able to use mysql tools like mysql, mysqladmin to converse with it. :}
I use RVM’s scripts to fetch gems.
I’ve visited RVM’s website but their advise to get “mysql gem loaded” does the same thing as below aborted output!
I’m not sure that this website is being maintained anymore as their copyright notice is 2011.
What/how suggestions appreciated to get this mysql2 gem installed so that i can use rails/ruby against this database?
My ROR config:
ruby 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20 revision 35410) [x86_64-darwin12.2.0]
Rails 3.2.12
RVM gem managed
So far Macport seems to work to install mysql and gen/install the mysql2 gem. I’ve not tried this gem yet as i’m still using RVM.
I don’t believe this is the latest mysql release by Macport.
It goes against Mysql’s website advise to install it by DMG route for Mac which I did with the latest stable 64 bit libraries/server.
Thanks for your help in trying to resolve this issue.

The aborted output from gem install mysql2.
Both ways attempted: gem install mysql2 and with the option --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
gem install mysql2 – --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
Building native extensions. This could take a while…
