undefined method `get_client_info' for Mysql:Class

after upgraded to Snow Leopard... (32bits arch)

I re-installed the mysql gem (i386 architecture) , all gems and rails 2.3.4 testing in the console

$ irb irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems' => true irb(main):002:0> require 'mysql' => true

Mysql.get_client_info NoMethodError: undefined method `get_client_info' for Mysql:Class   from (irb):3

I should get "5.1.38" (MySQL installed db version...) or did the Mysql class changed w Rails 2.3.4 ? is this test wrong ?

thanks for your advices

Your test works for me.

But I had a horrible time getting everything working on a Macbook.

I have no idea what finally worked, as I was trying so many different things and then walked away whistling when it finally did work.

Did you do an upgrade, or a clean install? I did an upgrade and I think that was the source of most of my problems. I also had no issue at all with a 64bit iMac.

What finally worked for me:

install mysql-5.1.38-osx10.5-x86_64 (from mysql.org). Then install the mysql gem with: env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install mysql -- --with-mysql- config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config

Run this ruby script to see what other gems are broken in the 32->64 bit transition: http://gist.github.com/178178

There's some more detail in the following:

I am stupid and bad writer ...

Mysql.get_client_info NoMethodError: undefined method `get_client_info' for Mysql:Class         from (irb):3

it happens because I wrote the bad method, should have written :

Mysql.get_client_info => "5.1.38"
