Leopard + mysql

[X43 X43]

Hello:

I am trying to connect to a remote mysql server via ruby with require
mysql tag.

I am seeing the following error :

dbconnect.rb:4:in `require': no such file to load -- mysql (LoadError)
from dbconnect.rb:4


Any thoughts ?

thanks

That's where the problem is coming. I tried doing that in both manner:

gem install mysql

and as shown here :
http://www.notsostupid.com/blog/2007/10/25/ruby-leopard-and-gems/


Both result in :

Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

ruby extconf.rb install mysql

Did you install MySQL? Binary or Source? Even if you are connecting to
a remote database, you are still going to have to have mysql header
files and libs installed.

NO I haven't installed MYSQL ( Binary/libraries/header files). Do you
mean a *full* mysql install ? Or are there drivers available ??

So, you need to install MySQL first. You can grab a binary installer
from mysql.com for your architecture.

Then, in order to install the Ruby bindings, follow the steps here:

Please tell us if this doesn't work for you.
