I updated gems to the latest version and all my ruby scripts that use mysql started immediately bombing out. I read on some websites that I should do a "gem install mysql" in order to get the driver back but I am now getting the error: "Failed to build gem native extension" Other websites say to include the path to mysql and I have tried this command to no avail: "gem install mysql -- with-mysql-dir=/usr/bin/" Can anyone help me get this running? thanks jackster -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
