Hi All; I am new to RoR and have a new MacBook Pro with OS X 10.5.5 This is what I have on it.

bash-3.2$ cd /usr/local bash-3.2$ ls mysql mysql-5.1.30-osx10.5-x86

bash-3.2$ ruby -v ruby 1.8.6 (2008-03-03 patchlevel 114) [universal-darwin9.0]

bash-3.2$ gem install mysql Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES)     Permission denied - /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7/COPYING bash-3.2$

bash-3.2$ sudo -s Password: bash-3.2# gem install mysql Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing mysql:         ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby extconf.rb install mysql can't find header files for ruby.

Gem files will remain installed in /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7 for inspection. Results logged to /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7/gem_make.out

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

The hivelogic/ dan benjamin guide ( http://danbenjamin.com/articles/2008/02/ruby-rails-leopard   ) covers this (you can ignore most it and just skip to the
installing the mysql gem part)

Hi All this worked for me.

sudo gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config Building native extensions. This could take a while... Successfully installed mysql-2.7 1 gem installed

Thanks for the response. MySQL is installed. All is OK at this point, but sure to have more questions later. -sjs
