Rails - Oct 2005 - MySQL fix

I''m trying to manually install the MySQL binding using gems.
Here''s what I
get:

prompt$ sudo gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql
Attempting local installation of ''mysql''
Local gem file not found: mysql*.gem
Attempting remote installation of ''mysql''
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: While executing gem ... (RuntimeError)
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
Gem files will remain installed in /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.6 for
inspection.
ruby extconf.rb install mysql -- --with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql

I''ve already run the ruby fix here (http://tech.rufy.com/entry/46). Why
else
would I be unable to install this?

Thanks in advance for any help,
-Travis

gems

I''ve had more luck just building the bindings directly...

curl -O http://tmtm.org/downloads/mysql/ruby/mysql-ruby-2.7.tar.gz
tar -xvzf mysql-ruby-2.7.tar.gz
cd mysql-ruby-2.7
ruby extconf.rb --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
make
sudo make install
cd ..
rm -rf mysql-ruby-2.7
rm mysql-ruby-2.7.tar.gz
