I fix the problem.

gem install mysql
it says, "Successfully installed mysql-2.8.1"
so I do, updatedb
then i do, locate mysql-2.8.1
which gives me
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.8.1/ext/mysql_api/mysql_api.so
so I copy to my ruby program dir, cp
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.8.1/ext/mysql_api/mysql_api.so ./
Then i must edit the require line of my program
require "./mysql"
becomes
require "./mysql_api"

Thank you all.

First: do not top post.

Second: there is no error in the installation, but the generation of
documentation.

Third: cannot reproduce:

luis@seyori ~$ sudo gem install mysql --ri --rdoc

Forth: You're trying to use a gem, and for that you need to require
'rubygems' prior using it:

require 'rubygems'
require 'mysql'

That works.

Manual copy of the file could introduce other issues in your
environment. Try avoid that.

I got the same error as Joao installing the mysql gem with the following
command:

sudo gem install mysql —
–with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config

I get an error loading the gem though:

irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> require 'mysql'
LoadError: Failed to load
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-darwin8.10.1/mysql.bundle
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-darwin8.10.1/mysql.bundle
from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in
`require'
from (irb):2

Mysql is running fine and seems to be installed correctly:

petermarks [23:33] ~ which mysql
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql

petermarks [23:33] ~ file
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-darwin8.10.1/mysql.bundle

The problem is that you installed mysql extension using ruby
"setup.rb" instead of the gem.

Please remove the site_ruby mysql.bundle file and try installing the
gem

if you do "gem which mysql" you will see that the entry point (the
library) is mysql.rb, not mysql.bundle in mysql gem version 2.8.1

 

[Xavier Noria]

FWIW I am getting these messages in doc generation since I switched to
1.8.7 with the upgrade to SL. Don't know if that explains it though,
just feedback.

Thanks, this got me further along. I no longer get an error loading
'mysql' in irb after removing the site_ruby mysql.bundle file. However,
I get an error trying to load 'mysql_api':

irb(main):004:0> require 'mysql_api'
LoadError: Failed to load
/Users/petermarks/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/mysql-2.8.1/lib/mysql_api.bundle

from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in
`require'
from (irb):4

Although I appear to have the correct version of the api bundle
installed:

petermarks [15:28] ~ file
/Users/petermarks/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/mysql-2.8.1/lib/mysql_api.bundle
/Users/petermarks/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/mysql-2.8.1/lib/mysql_api.bundle:
Mach-O 64-bit bundle x86_64

Has anyone had this?

 

[Peter Marks]

I finally resolved this. It helps to have 64-bit ruby

I was under the impression that snow leopard and/or xcode was supposed
to install 1.8.7, but I was somehow left with a 32-bit 1.8.6 install in
usr/local/bin. Strange.
