MySQL Installation Issues

Hello-

Trying to get rails up and running on my linux box with mysql.  When I
try to install the mysql gem, I get the following:

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)

I''ve tried setting the config option and other various things when
running ''gem install''.

Anyone know how to get around this?  Thanks very much.

Re: MySQL Installation Issues

This is still not working and I have tried almost every configuration
option possible.

As a side question...when you run ''gem install mysql'', what
exactly
does this do?

Does it create a binding to an already installed version of MySQL?
Does it install MySQL??

Thanks!

Re: MySQL Installation Issues

It compiles and installs a mysql driver used by ruby. You must have a 
previously installed version of mysql including headers and libraries.

Re: MySQL Installation Issues

Thanks Bill.

Is there a dependency on the version of MySQL, I believe I am running
an older version.

Re: MySQL Installation Issues

It should work ok with 4.1or 5, but if I remember right, it recommends 
5. I am using the latest 5 with no problems (5.0.45 I think).

Re: MySQL Installation Issues

What about MySQL client?  I don''t believe the client is installed,
only the server.

Re: MySQL Installation Issues

It''s very possible that it is looking for libmysqlclient (I am almost 
positive it does). Install the client / client libs and see if that 
solves your problem.

This worked for me on Mac OS X Leopard with MySQL 5.1.34. In particular, 
the following command worked:

sudo gem install mysql -- 
--with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config

Re: MySQL Installation Issues

I found a blog post that solves this problem ( http://nmanzi.com/?p=39
) and I turned it into a script so that you just have to run "./
install_mysql_ruby_adapter"

http://github.com/thirdreplicator/install_mysql_ruby_adapter_for_ruby1.9/tree/master

I run Ruby 1.9.1 on Ubuntu 8.04/8.10 and CentOS 5.2 with root
access.

Re: MySQL Installation Issues

Whenever you can''t build "native extensions", it means there
is some lib
or lib-dev missing.  Generally you''ll need to do a sudo apt-get install
lib-???-dev, or sudo apt-get install build_essential.

This time, I had to install the following:
''sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient15-dev''

Unfortunately, there is NO EASY WAY (that I know of) to identify what is 
missing from the attempt to compile.

Thanx this worked well tho the ri docs did not install (I think)

Terminal output:

Successfully installed mysql-2.8.1
1 gem installed
Installing ri documentation for mysql-2.8.1...

No definition for next_result

No definition for field_name

No definition for field_table

............

etc etc


Does this mean another file is missing and is not having ri docs any big 
deal?

newbie question...

I was able to get an error free install on OSX Leopard 10.6.2 with the
following. The first cds to the mysql gem location of my Leopard install
(may differ for others):

cd /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.8.1
sudo gem install mysql --no-rdoc --no-ri --
--with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config

There were many "No definition for..." RDoc and Ri errors otherwise.

Just starting my first Ruby project... and not so comfortable with this
install of the mysql gem. I expect there''s possibly serious
ramifications of excluding these two processes. Can anybody tell us what
are we missing by resorting to these install parameters; and/or how can
we install with ri and rdoc successfully?

ri and rdoc are just for documentation of the gem.  Google them to
find details.  Not having them will not affect the operation of the
gem.

Thanks Colin. I quickly found that out. I''ve posted instructions for 
resolving this issue at MySQL:

http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?116,359591,359591#msg-359591

The described process determines vital paths for successful installation 
on potentially any system.

After much irc and googling, at last, I found your recent entry Mike and
 I also was able to get an error free install on OS X 10.6.3
with
$ sudo gem install mysql --no-rdoc --no-ri -- 
--with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config

Re: MySQL Installation Issues

This is an old thread, but if you google the error message, it appears 
first in the list of results, so it''s worth writing a summary.

The root of the problem is that to install the mysql gem you need to 
compile some native code.  ("Native code" is software written in a 
language such as C or C++ which needs to be compiled specifically for 
the processor that your computer uses - 64-bit Intel x86 or whatever.)

Actually, it''s worth noting that this applies to EVERY DATABASE GEM - 
postgres, firebird or whatever.  Mysql is just the most popular.

As far as I can see, the reason that the first solution above doesn''t 
work is that it depends upon the method that you use to install mysql. 
On my Ubuntu Linux system, I did this:

    sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client

This installs mysql, but it doesn''t create a directory 
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config.  The first solution above expects 
that directory to exist.


The second solution is to install the dev client, which I did:

    sudo apt-get install libmysqld-dev

and then I could install the mysql gem:

    gem install mysql2

So the first solution didn''t work for me but the second one did. 
However, for you it may be different.

It''s also worth saying that I''ve installed mysql and Rails on
a Windows
PC and I didn''t get this problem.  It all depends on the environment
you
are using, the version of rails and the method used to install mysql.

This may not be under your control.  Last year I tried to get my app 
working on a shared managed host that supported Ruby on Rails.  They had 
just upgraded from Rails 2 to Rails 3.  It being a manged host, they 
installed all the base software and when I hit this problem I couldn''t 
get past it.  I wasted hours and got through several hosting companies 
before I switched to a Virtual Private Server (VPS) where I have root 
access and install everything myself.  I got the problem again, but this 
time I was able to get to the bottom of it.

If you working with a Linux host, this command may be useful:

    find / -name "libmysqlclient.*" 2>/dev/null

It searches through your file system starting at the root looking for 
libmysqlclient.  On my system it produces:

    /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.a
    /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.16
    /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so
    /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.16.0.0
