Got "undefined method `split'" when installing gem dm-mysql-adapter

[Deche Pangestu]

Hello all,

I'm trying to install the gem dm-mysql-adapter with the following
command:

gem install dm-mysql-adapter -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/bin/mysql
--with-mysql-lib=/usr/lib/mysql

and got this result:

Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing dm-mysql-adapter:

Has anyone experience the same problem? What should I do to fix this?
Thanks!

just a thought, should you not be using --with-opt in place of
--with-mysql ? also you might want to point to location of header file

Hello all,

I'm trying to install the gem dm-mysql-adapter with the following
command:

gem install dm-mysql-adapter -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/bin/mysql
--with-mysql-lib=/usr/lib/mysql

--with-mysql-config is expecting mysql_config or mysql5_config script,
not mysql binary.

If you provide a mysql_config script, there is no need for --with-
mysql-lib or --with-mysql-include.

Has anyone experience the same problem? What should I do to fix this?
Thanks!

Either provide --with-mysql-config or combine --with-mysql-lib & --
with-mysql-include
