ruby-mysql install woes

[Greg Willits]

OS X 10.4.10
ruby 1.8.4 (ruby installed using http://rubyosx.rubyforge.org/)

Trying to install riuby-mysql 2.7.4

Every blog & refc I can find doesn't work.

Using gem fails. Tried all the suggestions found on blogs.

Using the native package from tmtm.org fails, but I get further with it.

One tip I picked up which helps the native install to get further along
was to add "#define ulong unsigned long" at the top of the mysql.c file
(which does not exist with the gem install).

after I make install I get this response
/usr/bin/install -c -m 0755 mysql.bundle
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/universal-darwin8.0

then I try to do a simple two liner just to see if I get complaints

#! /usr/local/bin/ruby
require 'mysql'

and indeed I get this complaint:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/universal-darwin8.0/mysql.bundle:
Failed to load
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/universal-darwin8.0/mysql.bundle
(LoadError)

I'm no C geek, so I have no idea what to try next.

Ideas?

btw the gcc I have installed is 4.01

looking closer, after make I get all this rot which maybe is meaningful
to someone. it looked to me like it's just recognizing that there's no
intel CPU, but maybe something in here is problematic?

I got it to work. Applied 25 years of engineering in various fields and
disciplines... and guessed. I'll write up details in a while, but just
wanted to say I managed to hack it into working.

OS X 10.4.10
ruby 1.8.6 (ruby installed using http://rubyosx.rubyforge.org/)

Trying to install mysql-ruby 2.7.4
Every blog & refc I can find doesn't work.
Using gem fails. Tried all the suggestions found on blogs.

The gist of the trouble is that if you have a PowerPC Mac, the
instructions don't work as they assume an intel-based Mac.

I figured it out, and wrote up in detail what it took to make it work
for me.
