Rick, Huge thanks for your post.
There's a lot of erroneous information which has been extremely misleading on this issue. For the benefit of others who are having FURTHER problems INSTALLING the MySQL gem on their "OSX" systems, it should be made clear that Leopard "OSX" systems are an exception to the instruction to install the mysql gem with "gem install mysql". If a person runs your console instruction: rails myApp -d mysql They can examine the comments of the database.yml file, in which they'll find that the console instruction they have to run to execute mysql gem installation ON LEOPARD is: "sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config" Note that forum wrapping can corrupt posts of this instruction; so, best to copy it right out of the comments in the top of the database.yml flle you'll get by running rails myApp -d mysql. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
