Hi Group, I've got mysql database installed and the server running on a Mac Pro with latest mountain lion setup 10.8.3. I'm able to use mysql tools like mysql, mysqladmin to converse with it. :}
I use RVM's scripts to fetch gems. I've visited RVM's website but their advise to get "mysql gem loaded" does the same thing *as below aborted output*! I'm not sure that this website is being maintained anymore as their copyright notice is 2011. What/how suggestions appreciated to get this mysql2 gem installed so that i can use rails/ruby against this database? My ROR config: ruby 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20 revision 35410) [x86_64-darwin12.2.0] Rails 3.2.12 RVM gem managed So far Macport seems to work to install mysql and gen/install the mysql2 gem. I've not tried this gem yet as i'm still using RVM. I don't believe this is the latest mysql release by Macport. It goes against Mysql's website advise to install it by DMG route for Mac which I did with the latest stable 64 bit libraries/server. Thanks for your help in trying to resolve this issue. Dave *The aborted output from gem install mysql2.* *Both ways attempted: gem install mysql2 and with the option --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config* gem install mysql2 -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config Building native extensions.
