Hello:
I am trying to get rails up and running with mysql for a redmine
installation. When I try to install the mysql gem, I get the following:
h1605521:/ # gem install mysql
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing mysql:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
/usr/bin/ruby extconf.rb install mysql
checking for mysql_ssl_set()... no
checking for rb_str_set_len()... no
checking for rb_thread_start_timer()... no
checking for mysql.h... no
checking for mysql/mysql.h... no
*** extconf.rb failed ***
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.
Provided configuration options:
--with-opt-dir
--without-opt-dir
--with-opt-include
--without-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include
--with-opt-lib
--without-opt-lib=${opt-dir}/lib
--with-make-prog
--without-make-prog
--srcdir=.
--curdir
--ruby=/usr/bin/ruby
--with-mysql-config
--without-mysql-config
Gem files will remain installed in
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.8.1 for inspection.
Results logged to
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.8.1/ext/mysql_api/gem_make.out
Tried already to find the solution reading other related posts here in
the forum - no cuccess so far.
Has anybody any idea ? Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks

I borrow this thread because I have the same problem but with sqlite3. ... checking for sqlite3.h... no *** extconf.rb failed *** Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers. ... I tried to fix it by downloading the source code for sqlite from http://www.sqlite.org/ and installing it. Now i have the sqlite3.h header file and tried again with gem install sqlite3-ruby -- --with-sqlite3-dir=/my/sqlite/path/sqlite-3.6.17 The sqlite3.h file is in that directory but I get the same errors again.. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Do you have mysql installed? What happens when you type: mysql -- version i.e.: mysql --version mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.31, for apple-darwin9.5.0 (powerpc) using readline 5.1 How about when you type: which mysql_config i.e.: which mysql_config /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config Assuming you have mysql installed, you can install the mysql gem by typing: gem install mysql --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/ mysql_config NOTE: substitute your path to mysql_config for mine here. If you don''t have mysql installed, go to http://www.mysql.com/ and follow the download instructions for your system.

Do you really have sqlite3 installed? What happens when you type: which sqlite3 i.e.: which sqlite3 /opt/local/bin/sqlite3 On my system I would then install the gem using: gem install sqlite3-ruby -- --with-sqlite3-include=/opt/local/include --with-sqlite3-lib=/opt/local/lib On Aug 29, 10:12 am, Joonas Lindholm <rails-mailing-l...@andreas- s.net> wrote:> I borrow this thread because I have the same problem but with sqlite3. > > ... > checking for sqlite3.h... no > *** extconf.rb failed *** > Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of > necessary libraries and/or headers. > ... > > I tried to fix it by downloading the source code for sqlite fromhttp://www.sqlite.org/and installing it.
