Subject: Can not install mysql for ruby

Hello,

I hope this is not too off-topic, but after 2 days of googling and
trying everything possible that crossed my mind i have no idea what to
do/how to go on. I have double checked 10k times that i have every
package (gcc, mysql-* etc) and still nothing. My system is 32bit kubuntu
dapper running on an AMD64.

This i what i get:

peter@peter:$ sudo gem install mysql -- --include=/usr/local/lib
Password:
