I''ve found other online references to this error:
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
ruby extconf.rb install mysql
checking for mysql_query() in -lmysqlclient... no
... blah blah
The most apparently relevant is old, though, from November 2005

blaming gcc4.
Is this still the case? Does anyone know of an alternative workaround?
Unfortunately I only have gcc4.0.2 on this system (SuSE 10.0 64bit).
TIA,

I didn''t compile it. i get mysql-dev-lib using "apt-get" utility and then installed mysql gem with "gem install mysql". all is that.

Re: gem install mysql fails
Here''s what I do on my Centos 4/5 boxes. After installing mysql and mysql-devel (using yum), I do this: gem install mysql (let it fail) cd /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7 ruby extconf.rb --with-mysql-config=/usr/bin/mysql_config make && make install from gem directory Hope this helps, Dave http://www.stevensonsoftware.com - affordable VPS Hosting http://www.gotossh.com - web based SSH On Jul 22, 8:35 pm, "Hassan Schroeder" <hassan.schroe...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> On 7/22/07, Bahadır Doğan <rails-mailing-l...-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > > > > I didn''t compile it. i get mysql-dev-lib using "apt-get" utility and > > then installed mysql gem with "gem install mysql". all is that. > > ''gem install mysql'' uses gcc -- what do you get from `which gcc`? > > -- > Hassan Schroeder ------------------------ hassan.schroe...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Thanks, that /seemed/ to work, in the sense that no error messages were generated :-) However, when I do a `gem query --local` there''s no ''mysql'' in the list -- is that normal?
