Hello Ryan, Thank you for your response. I downloaded and installed the tar file but that dint help in installing the gem either.
I want to get a few things right first, 1. I have mysql 5.0.67 x86 version installed which seems to be a 32 bit version. But I have a 64 bit Intel Core 2 duo processor. Can that cause issues? 2. Does "checking for mysql_query() in -lmysqlclient... no" mean im missing the mysql-dev package?
