Hi, I have mysql installed on linux. Whenever I am trying t "gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-dir=/usr/bin/mysql" I am getting following error:-
Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing mysql: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
/usr/local/bin/ruby extconf.rb --with-mysql-dir=/usr/bin/mysql checking for mysql_ssl_set()... *** extconf.rb failed *** 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.

Gem files will remain installed in /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.8.1 for inspection. Results logged to /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.8.1/ext/mysql_api/gem_make.out
Can anyone tell me how to solve this? Thanks, Tushar
