Hi,
I?m having problems building and installing the mysql gem on a Fedora
Core 4 (Linux) server.
# gem install 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...
can''t find header files for ruby.
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-2.7 for inspection.
ruby extconf.rb install mysql\n
Results logged to /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7/gem_make.out
I get the same results after running "gem cleanup" as well.
# cd /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7
#ruby extconf.rb --with-mysql-config
can''t find header files for ruby.
I would be very grateful to all help, suggestions and tips! :)
Best regards,
Martin Stabenfeldt
