You can refer to Ruby on Rails installation issue (Windows) to get a solution.
NOTE: for 64bit windows, you should use 64bit connector.

Things were going find and dandy, creating an app in Rails. Then I pulled an app my boss built, had to run the bundler, and now I'm out of business. Tried various things without success, now thinking I should re-install Rails. A problem with connecting to MySql seems to have developed from pulling my bosses app. Any help with the following error message would be appreciated.

Beginner here, would really appreciate dome help!
I am trying to install ruby gem mysql2 but i am not able to and i am having a hard time telling exactly what error i am getting. I am using ruby version 2.1.5p273 and Rails version 4.0.0. I have tried moving libmysql.dll from \mysql to ruby \bin but that didn't work. Here is the command prompt messages.

Guys i found a solution through some google fu at http://help.rubygems.org/discussions/questions/5857-cannot-install-mysql2-gem. It was in a comment a little ways down. I needed to extract mysql-connector-c-zip to my root drive and point to it in the command prompt.
I've spent a lot of time to fix this. Everytime I run this command
gem install mysql2 --version 4.0.0 --no-ri --no-rdoc
I get the error message ( Ruby 200)
>gem install mysql2 --no-rdoc --no-ri

I have copied the .dll file from Mysql to bin directory of Ruby folder
I also updted the command
gem install mysql2 --no-rdoc --no-ri -- '--with-mysql-lib="C:\Program Files\MySQL/MySQL Server 5.6\lib\" --with-mysql-include="C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\include"'
I need help please
we tried suggestions from this SO post about correcting installation errors with the mysql2 gem, but our problems persisted. we also looked at other SO posts like this one, but none helped.
we're on rails 3.2.12 on windows 7.

An error occurred while installing mysql2 (0.3.15), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install mysql2 -v '0.3.15'` succeeds before bundling.
Wrote an update on how to do this (after we've had to do it a lot):
Download MYSQL C-Connector Library (32-bit only)
Unzip to "no-spaces" path (E.G C:/mysql-connector)
Install the gem using relative paths:
gem install mysql2 —platform=ruby — ‘—with-mysql-dir=”C:\mysql-connector-path”’
Add the DLL to your Ruby/bin folder (you've done already)
Reason
The reason this fails is because Win 7 does not have MYSQL libraries installed, meaning Ruby cannot reference the files it needs to install the gem
You need to install the correct files (which can be removed later on). It seems you've installed the wrong ones, which will probably be the reason why the gem fails to install
Hope this helps!

the mkmf.log file consists of heaps of gcc debug output that is of no help to me, I can post it but I bet it's more trivial like the mentioned configuration options.
Has anyone got experience with this on a Ubuntu1104 system?
Thankful for any hints!
Cheers,

Apparently you haven't installed MySQL development libraries necessary to compile this gem. libmysqlclient-dev might help.
