install.

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\ruby_test\rub
y_test>igem install mysql
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing mysql:

I would prefer to use the ruby gems as I'm using ironruby to generate
the GUI front end for data entry.

I don't think IronRuby supports native extensions, which the mysql gem
uses. You might have to use a .NET library (I've never used such a
thing, so I don't know what to look for, but it'd probably be like
JDBC for Java).

It says there is a syntax error, that you have the incorrect number of
ends in the file extconf.rb

Have you checked to make sure that you have an "end" for every "do",
"def", "class", and "if" (and anything else that requires one)?

Actually, looking again, if this is pulling from rubygems, then I
think the correct gem to install is mysql2
(http://rubygems.org/gems/mysql2) the mysql gem hasn't been updated in
two years. If you try installing mysql2, do you get the same error?

mysql or mysql2 gems will not work under IronRuby.

These gems use C code (as Ruby extensions) to communicate with MySQL.

IronRuby can't compile extensions like this.

Check on IronRuby list for alternate adapters that use C# or managed
code and can be used instead.
