From: Jim Wharton Date: 2012-01-26T03:36:45+09:00 Subject: Install mysql2 gem in Ubuntu 11.10 with RVM I'm trying to get this gem installed and it keeps puking up errors. All the searches I've done tell me that I need to have the libmysqlclient-dev libraries installed. I do. But when I attempt to gem install mysql2: jim@caesar ~/Sites/igpt/install/shapefiles[testoo*]$ gem install mysql2 -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/bin/mysql_config Building native extensions. This could take a while...
