For some reason I can't get mysql gem installed. I have the libmysqlclient
and mysql-server and mysql-client installed, but it doesn't work. I am
running ubuntu 8.10. Am I missing a required package I don't know about?
What am I doing wrong?
Here is the output:
joey@lab:~/Projects/rets$ sudo gem install mysql
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing mysql:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.
When I try to use the --with-mysqlclientlib conf option, I get this output:
joey@lab:~/Projects/rets$ sudo gem install mysql -- --with-mysqlclientlib

see how it changes from -lmysqlclient to -ltrue?
