I have been, for the last several days, trying to manually compile
and install the MySQL/Ruby bindings on my laptop running OS X 10.4.2.
I already applied the fixrbconfig gem on my installation of Ruby, and
I am running the latest stable release of MySQL, I believe it is
4.1.14 (I used the binary tarball, not a source compilation or an
installation from the binary package). However, I have also received
this error on 5.0.12 release as well.
$ sudo export PATH=/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH
$ sudo ruby extconf.rb -- --with-mysql-config
checking for mysql_ssl_set()... no
checking for mysql.h... yes
creating Makefile
$sudo make
gcc -fno-common -g -0s -pipe -fno-common ... blah blah blah...
then I get the following:
/usr/bin/ld: warning -L: directory name (/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql)
does not exist
/usr/bin/ld: can''t locate file for: -lmysqlclient
collect2: id returned 1 exit status
make: *** [mysql.bundle] Error 1
Now, I believe that this error is occurring because the binary
distribution of MySQL is missing the lmysqlclient, but what I don''t
get is I have done this once before, a few days prior and managed to
get everything to work. I have been trying, ever since, to duplicate
what I did that made this work. I also remember that when it did work
the line "checking for mysql_ssh_set()... no" actually returned yes,
the compilation after that ran successfully. Any ideas?
Kindest Regard,
