Hi,
Ive got Mac OS 10.5.8 and MySQL 5.0.67-osx10.5-x86 (installed in /usr/ local/mysql) working fine with my Rails 2.1.0 applications.
Im trying a test run of Rails 2.3.5 and having to install the MySQL gem is literally driving me crazy! Ive tried all the following commands, with sudo and without and I'm getting the same error for all of them, ie.
ERROR: Error installing mysql: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby extconf.rb checking for mysql_query() in -lmysqlclient... no checking for main() in -lm... yes checking for mysql_query() in -lmysqlclient... no checking for main() in -lz... yes checking for mysql_query() in -lmysqlclient... no checking for main() in -lsocket... no checking for mysql_query() in -lmysqlclient... no checking for main() in -lnsl... no checking for mysql_query() in -lmysqlclient... no checking for main() in -lmygcc... no checking for mysql_query() in -lmysqlclient... no *** 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.
The commands I've tried after much Googling and blog posts are,
env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/ usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-dir=/usr/ local/mysql --with-mysql-lib=/usr/local/mysql/lib --with-mysql- include=/usr/local/mysql/include env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-dir=/usr/ local/mysql --with-mysql-lib=/usr/local/mysql/lib --with-mysql- include=/usr/local/mysql/include --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/ bin/mysql_config env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" gem install mysql --with-mysql-dir=/usr/ local/mysql gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/ mysql_config
As advised by the gem install o/p, I checked the mkmf.log file in / Users/<user>/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/mysql-2.8.1/ext/mysql_api/mkmf.log and found this - "ld: library not found for -lmysqlclient" .
Hope someone can help me fix this. Quite frustrating!
Danke!
