I am running Linx Mint, a version of Ubuntu, and I installed Ruby
and Rails. However, when I try to install the mySql package via. gem, "gem
install mysql" I get an error message (See below) with no idea how to fix
the error. I looked on the net (Google), but all suggestions do not work
with this Linux.
Also, as far as I know, I have all of the correct mySql drivers/headers,
etc.
=================== error message ==================================
