I''m using Locomotive on MacOSX 10.4, and I have installed mysql
5.0.45.
To my surprise, the Ruby version included in Locomotive does not come
with the mysql
gem installed, so I tried to install it manually. According to the
instructions in database.yml,
this should be done using the --include switch, like this:
gem install mysql -- --include=/usr/local/lib
I selected the mysql 2.7 (ruby) version of the gem, but got the build
error listed below. What can I do to get the mysql gem installed?

I did nothing special at all. I installed Locomotive, edited database.yml, and was good to go. Apart from the download the whole thing took maybe two minutes. Maybe the problem is the MySQL installation? If you''re using Locomotive, why not use MAMP as well? That will give you a pain-free self-contained MySQL server. to move it or back it up, just copy the folder. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I installed it straight from the MySql website - the version for the Mac. Do I have any additional packages to install from there?> If you''re using > Locomotive, why not use MAMP as well?

Tried to google to it, and found a few references pointing to http://www.mamp.com/ , but this page seems to be only a search site for programming topics. Could you give me a link?

> I had no problems with using locomotive and MySQL. I did nothing > special at all.This was also confirmed by a friend. Actually, I didn''t *try* to use it "as it comes out of the box" (and, for sure, I should have tried before posting), because from my experience with a non-rails Ruby project, I knew that back then I *had* to install the mysql gem, so when I checked the list of the installed gems and found mysql missing, I was absolutely sure that I had to manually install it. Now if a kind soul just could explain to me why RoR works with MySql without the mysql gem being installed.....

It works because rails ships with the pure ruby mysql bindings in case you don''t have the gem installed. The only benefit to the C bindings version (the other gem) is speed as it is quite a bit faster than the pure ruby version. -Bill Ronny wrote:>> I had no problems with using locomotive and MySQL.
