Subject: ruby gem install mysql compile error

I am having an issue installing the mysql gem on my fedora 11 ruby
1.9.1p376 installation.

mysql is installed and working. When I try to run sudo gem install mysql
I get the following message:

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing mysql:
 ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Gem files will remain installed in
/usr/local/lib/ruby19/gems/1.9.1/gems/mysql-2.8.1 for inspection.
Results logged to
/usr/local/lib/ruby19/gems/1.9.1/gems/mysql-2.8.1/ext/mysql_api/gem_make.out


I am not sure what I am doing wrong here any ideas would be appreciated.
I tried downloading the source and get the same error when I enter make.
