I tried installing it with sudo gem install mysql It asks me which version to install, and I chose the latest non-windows version. It then runs a bit and I get the following error Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more details. You may need configuration options. I'm sure this tells those of you who have been around a bit a lot, but I'm brand new to gems. How do I address getting the mysql library up. Also, are there other gems that I should consider installing as well. Thanks again ---Michael -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
