I can't install the MySQL gem. I know this is a very common error but I have searched and tried everything I could. I have been trying to fix it for more than a week and I am very frustrated. I am working on Windows 7 64-bit machine.
I have tried this: http://blog.mmediasys.com/2011/07/07/installing-mysql-on-windows-7-x64-and-using-ruby-with-it/
And moving the libmysql.dll to the bin folder of the ruby installation and still no success.
I also tried 64 bit and 32 bit versions.
I would love to get this problem out of the way to actually start learning...
I will answer as fast as possible to provide any information you need.
Thank you very much, whoever solves it will be my hero!
EDIT: Here is the error I am getting. It is very common.

EDIT: FIXED
I ended up using:
gem install mysql2 --platform=ruby -- '--with-mysql-dir="C:\mysql-connector"'
And this time it worked! I hope this can help anyone with this problem.

I looked everywhere and I can't find any help on how to get JRuby to work on AIX. I tried unpacking the binary package, tried using the jruby-complete.jar but I stumble on the same problems.
All errors seem to occur because JRuby is looking in the wrong directories for lib files.
For instance, I set my GEM_PATH=/home/dev999/install_tmp/gem and then I try to require activerecord-jdbc-adapter, which is installed under ./gem/gems/activerecord-jdbc-adapter-1.3.12, but for some reason JRuby keeps looking for the gem under ./gem/gems/activemodel-4.1.8/lib as shown below.
dev-host:/home/dev999/install_tmp$ jruby -e "require 'activerecord-jdbc-adapter'"
Errno::ENOENT: ENOENT - /home/dev999/install_tmp/gem/gems/activemodel-4.1.8/lib/activerecord-jdbc-adapter

Any insights on what may be causing this are greatly appreciated.
EDIT: The server is an AIX 64 bits; we tried Java 1.6 and 1.7 both 64 and 32 bits (IBM custom build for AIX) but we ended up sticking with 1.7 64 bits in the final solution, although the version doesn't seem to affect the issues found in the Ruby 1.7.9 installation, but since we couldn't get JRuby 1.7.16 to work, I can't be sure if the Java builds we used could have played part in the problem.
OK, so the server admin and I spent two days trying to figure these things out and I can finally summarize the solution we ended up with to get JRuby working on AIX_64.
1 . First and most important of all, I had to install JRuby 1.7.9 since the 1.7.16 stable version from the main download page in jruby.org has many (seemingly AIX specific) bugs that we could not figure out; for instance, the wrong gem path resolution shown in my original question. Version 1.7.9 sorts out most of the issues automatically;
2) For some weird reason that I'm still unable to figure out, jirb won't work with the jline-2.11.jar lib that comes with the downloaded JRuby package. At some point I got it to work but then I could not retrace my steps so I gave up. To sort this issue out I downloaded jline-1.0.jar and replaced the jline jar located under <jruby_path>/lib/ruby/shared/readline/jline-2.11.jar; please note that even if we are replacing this with jline-1.0, the jar file name must still be the same i.e. jline-2.11.jar otherwise jirb will complain about a missing lib;
3) Some common steps: add jruby/bin to $PATH; make sure which java shows the correct Java version you want to use; set $JAVA_HOME;
4) (Optional, but very useful) in order to avoid having to grant my user write access to the /usr/<jruby>/<gem_paths> directories but still allow me to install gems without having to ask the admin I added export GEM_PATH=~/.gem to my .profile, then mkdir ~/.gem. To install gems to my home directory I do jgem install <gem_name> -i $GEM_PATH.
Hopefully this helps other users struggling with the same problems.
My main suggestion is to join the jruby mailing list and ask there. I've used jruby just once and managed to get it working. Here is a bit of magic that I don't really understand that I have at the top of one of the first files I require:
# We need the db2j.jar loaded
require 'db2j.jar'
# Some feaking magic Java needs
Java::JavaClass.for_name 'com.ibm.db2j.jdbc.DB2jDriver'
# The connection string is jdbc:db2j:the/path/to/the/file where the
# file is actually a directory.
CloudscapeDriver = 'jdbc:db2j'

good luck
The tags say it all, really. This is a project that used to work on earlier versions, but not now. If you know the answer, just stop reading and tell me how.
An existing project is working fine on older releases of NetBeans and MySQL. I am just trying to get it working on the latest release of everything. Nothing fancy. Just plain vanilla Ruby on Rails on Windows/MySQL.
Clean install of Netbeans 7.4. No problems.
Clean full install of MySQL 5.5. No problems. Includes Java connector.
Clean install of ruby and rails from community: http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/38549. No problems.
Everything is working just fine.
Webrick starts and runs. Absolutely no surprises to this point.
I tried to gem install MySQL: it fails, but it is not unexpected. I have no interest in pursuing that line. Ditto for MySQL 2. It's always hard building native libraries on Windows.
I tried to gem install all/any of the following:
* activerecord-jdbc-adapter
* activerecord-jdbcmysql-adapter
* jdbc-mysql
They install just fine, but the end point is always the same:
cannot load com.mysql.jdbc.Driver.
I think I know what this means, but I have no idea how to fix it. Is it a classpath problem? Is it a bug? Is it an incompatibility just about to be fixed? Is it because I'm using Windows? Who knows? I can't think of anything else to try, and the forums are full of these errors with no solutions that seem to fit my problem.
I am not sure, but maybe the blog post Installing MySQL on Windows 7 x64 and using Ruby with it will help.
I had trouble with the gem at first but got it to work when I installed the 64-bit MySQL and reinsatlled the gem with arch flags.
So it work in rails. The error I used to get was
uninitialized constant MysqlCompat::MysqlRes
but that is now gone :)
However in Xcode when I run a RubyCocoa project I still get the old error of
uninitialized constant MysqlCompat::MysqlRes
Does anyone know why this may be?
Is it because the gdb is 64-bit?
How can it work in Rails but not in RubyCocoa?
A little debugging shows that it fails to load mysql_api.bundle
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.8.1/lib/mysql_api.bundle:
dlopen(/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.8.1/lib/mysql_api.bundle, 9): no suitable image found.
Did find: (LoadError) /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.8.1/lib/mysql_api.bundle: mach-o, but wrong architecture -
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.8.1/lib/mysql_api.bundle from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require'
The problem might be that xcode uses another version of the ruby framework than you are using normally, I had that trouble and solved it somehow.
The architecture mismatch might be some other thing though:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework
I had the same problem and it had something to do with an older MySQL installation if I remember correctly. I installed the 32-bit version by accident, noticed the mistake and installed the 64-bit one.
I got rid of the error by removing MySQL as described here: How do you uninstall MySQL from Mac OS X and reinstalling the latest version with arch flags.
Did you try this?
For the last several days, I've been struggling to get ruby on rails to work on my mac. The main culprit is MySQL. Every time I fix one thing, another error shows up. I upgraded/downgraded MySQL to play nice with ruby, rail and gems, but nothing. My latest error is:
!!! The bundled mysql.rb driver has been removed from Rails 2.2. Please install the mysql gem and try again: gem install mysql.
/!\ FAILSAFE /!\ Wed Aug 05 21:09:23 -0700 2009
Status: 500 Internal Server Error
dlopen(/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-darwin9.7.0/mysql.bundle, 9): Library not loaded: /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.16.dylib...
I don't have libmysqlclient.16.dylib; just *.15.dylib. Tried all the techniques, even installed or tried to install ruby-mysql-0.2.6 posted at tmtm.org
FYI: Last error prior to the one stated above had to do with authentication.
Appreciate any help.
Well, this question is a bit old already, but since I got here after getting the same error (but on LINUX), I would like to post my solution for future reference.
I simply had to install ruby-mysql.i686
yum install ruby-mysql.i686
Hope it helps somebody else in the future... tnx
Have you installed Xcode Developer tools? You can download it for free at http://developer.apple.com/.
Whenever I have issues with Ruby and MySQL, I never had Xcode installed. Could be wrong.
Answering my own question.
I don't know why and I don't know how, but took #Garrett's advice and re-installed Xcode. That didn't do anything. Went ahead and upgraded MySQL after that, which I had done before, and voilá! it worked. I'm guessing both re-installations finally got it working somehow. Weird!
Try using the below command . Provide the location of the mysql directory in your Mac .
sudo gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-dir= /usr/local/mysql
It looks like you haven't specified the location of mysql directory .
Good luck !
