Tried many suggestions, how do I install mysql2 gem? - mysql

I'm trying to install a mysql2 gem on a ruby on rails app. I'm currently running Ubuntu 11.04 and this is the error I get when I run sudo gem install mysql2 or bundle install:

I've tried installing with mysql_config, I've installed the libmysqlclient-dev and libmysql-ruby libraries, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling mysql. None of it works. I am able to successfully install mysql gem but not mysql2.
I'm running ruby1.8 and Rails 2.3.5. Can anyone help me out?

try this:
sudo apt-get install libmysql-ruby
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
sudo gem install mysql2

Look at this blog and others like it. But ultimately, I recommend upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10. I experienced many strange errors when running 11.04, since moving to 11.10 everything is much more stable.

If you are running CentOS/Redhat, try install the following packages (using yum):
MySQL-devel-5.5.22-1.el6.x86_64
MySQL-shared-5.5.22-1.el6.x86_64
MySQL-shared-compat-5.5.22-2.el6.x86_64

Compile error with Gearman and MySQL with Homebrew

When attempting to compile Gearman on Mac OSX with Homebrew, I get the following error:
brew install gearman --with-mysql

#include <mysql.h>
^
1 error generated
I am using MariaDB instead of MySQL - and I suspect this may be the cause.
As a quick and easy workaround:
brew edit gearman
Look for this line:
args << (build.with?("mysql") ? "--with-mysql=#{Formula["mysql"].opt_bin}/mysql_config" : "--without-mysql")
And change Formula["mysql"] to Formula["mariadb"]
Run brew install gearman --with-mysql again and it will compile successfully.

You need to install libcrypt-devel. After that it will build fine.

Compile a MYSQL example with Clang

EHLO
I am trying to compile an example of mysql connecion on C with Clang, while I can do it with gcc easily like this:
gcc mysql1.c -o mysql1 -std=c99 `mysql_config --cflags --libs`
I don't know how to pass the script mysql_config parameter to clang. I did it without them, but clang gave me errors about the include on library mysql.h and others.
what can I do?
Well this is how I figured out:
clang mysql1.c -o mysql1 -I/usr/include/mysql -Wa, -gdwarf-4 -fvar-tracking-assignments -frecord-gcc-switches -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -pipe -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -fstack-protector-all -fPIC -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv -fPIC -g -DNDEBUG -rdynamic -L/usr/local/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lpthread -lz -lm -lssl -lcrypto -O2
Just have in mind where are mysqlclient lib and mysql sources.

The mysql gem was developed and tested only against MRI (Ruby 1.8). As such it uses old-style C-extensions for most of their implementation. While they are technically supported by JRuby, they are slow and error-prone. So don't use them.
If you use JRuby, you are much better off of using the JDBC adapters which use the java-native database interface and are thus much faster and much better supported. The high-level interface (as e.g. used by Rails) is roughly the same, you shouldn't notice any difference.
So for JRuby you should use the jdbc-mysql gem, or - if you use Rails - the activerecord-jdbcmysql-adapter gem which requires that gem and adds the appropriate database adapter.
It seems that this comes up from time to time. Here is an SO post with some information (the second and third answers are more along what you are looking for).
On another note this blog suggests using jdbc-mysql.

MySQL gem installation problem

I'm bit confused having error with MySQL gem installation. I have uninstalled mysql gem because of MySQL update from 5.0.xx to 5.1.39 and now I can't install it properly.
I have downloaded mysql-2.8.1.gem to the server, because it is behind proxy. I have rad a lot of tutorials where is told that I have to include mysql_config to get rid of this error, but there is no help from that.
OS is Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga).
[my#server ~]$ sudo gem install mysql-2.8.1.gem --no-rdoc --no-ri -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/bin/mysql_config

Any suggestions?
From the error it looks as if your version of MySQL is not compatible with the version of the gem you are using.
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so when searching for -lmysqlclient
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a when searching for -lmysqlclient
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient
If you have multiple MySQL versions installed, maybe the gem is picking up on an older version. You should verify with the MySQL gem documentation for the verison you are using whihch version of MySQL is required.
I'd recommend that you use the mysql2 gem. If you use ruby 1.8 series you should use the gem version 0.2.11 or 0.2.13 something or if you use ruby 1.9 series I'd recommend gem version 0.3.7. 0.3.X does not work for some reason on ruby 1.8.
It should work like a charm. :)
