I already have mysql installed on my Mac (it's a macbook pro) now when I either try to configure my ruby (I don't know where) or when I try to install the mysql gem I always get error messages.... Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing mysql: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. /usr/local/bin/ruby extconf.rb install mysql -- --with-dir=/usr/local/mysql checking for mysql_query() in -lmysqlclient... no checking for main() in -lm... yes checking for mysql_query() in -lmysqlclient... no checking for main() in -lz... yes checking for mysql_query() in -lmysqlclient... no checking for main() in -lsocket... no checking for mysql_query() in -lmysqlclient... no checking for main() in -lnsl... no checking for mysql_query() in -lmysqlclient... no Gem files will remain installed in /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7 for inspection. Results logged to /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7/gem_make.out I have Xcode installed obviously but somehow this doesn't work.... Would be great if you could help! Thanks!
