sequel problem: no such file to load -- mysql (LoadError)

[Michael Andreasen]

Hi, i tried to learn about sequel (and Ruby) and got this problem

/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in
`require__': no such file to load -- mysql (LoadError)
from
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require'
from
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sequel-0.2.0.2/lib/sequel/mysql.rb:5
from
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require__'
from
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require'
from /home/ruby/abc.rb:2

Anyone could point me in the right direction? Couldt google anything.

Could be ;-) Either way i couldt find anything. So im still looking for
help on this one.

I admit im new to Ruby and maybe im googling the error msg incorrectly.
in any case any small point in the right direction would be appriciated.

Do you have a MySQL gem installed?

 

[Mike Andersen]

thanks for your guidence which lead me to the soloution, but not the
problem.

gem install mysql

produces the following output:

make install
/bin/install -c -m 0755 mysql.so
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7/lib
Successfully installed mysql-2.7

however

ls -alh /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7/lib

showed this path to be empty. i copyied mysql.so like this

cp /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7/mysql.so
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7/lib/

and viola, it works!

The first and third of those lines are stating that the 'mysql'
library is missing.
Make sure that you have the ruby-mysql library installed, latest
version is 2.7 I believe.
"sudo gem install mysql"

~Wayne

Also--after you have installed your necessary libraries--remember that
your mysql server needs to be running. I've, myself, tried to
troubleshoot DB library things into the ground when the server just
didn't start. It seems simple and stupid, but it happens to the best.

Yes! This is a common problem for all of us. It doesn't happen often,
so we don't see it or expect it. But, when the mysql server
application is stopped, you will get failure.
