Hello all, I know this is not an uncommon question, but none of the tutorials/tips solve my problem. I've got a linux machine running Ubuntu 10.4 with ruby, gem, rails, and xampp installed.
Now when I try to install the mysql gem (via: $sudo gem install mysql -with-mysql-config=/opt/lampp/bin/mysql_config), I get:
Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing mysql: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Check the mkmf.log file for more details. You may need configuration options.
Provided configuration options: --with-opt-dir --without-opt-dir --with-opt-include etc, etc...
What should I check?
Thanks in advance, Dan
