Have you ever installed MySQL (the database server) from source on
this computer? It sounds like you don't have the libraries and headers
that the mysql gem needs to compile a native Ruby bridge for your
specific server. It is entirely possible and likely to have a working
mysql server daemon on your computer, without having the development
header files that compiled it.

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.
