    copied!<p>So I know that this question has been asked before, and I have looked through all of the previous answers and still can't find a solution. Hoping you all can help. </p> <p>The setup: I am running Mac OS X 10.6 Server. I have used the built in MySQL install on web apps and it works great. Now I am trying to run a RoR app that requires MySQL. </p> <p>So, whenever I enter</p> <pre><code>gem install mysql </code></pre> <p>it spits back the following error:</p> <pre><code>Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing mysql: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. /Users/admin/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/bin/ruby extconf.rb --with-mysql-config=/var/mysql *** extconf.rb failed *** 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. Provided configuration options: --with-opt-dir --without-opt-dir --with-opt-include --without-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include --with-opt-lib --without-opt-lib=${opt-dir}/lib --with-make-prog --without-make-prog --srcdir=. --curdir --ruby=/Users/admin/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/bin/ruby --with-mysql-config extconf.rb:35:in ``': Permission denied - /var/mysql --cflags (Errno::EACCES) from extconf.rb:35:in `&lt;main&gt;' Gem files will remain installed in /Users/admin/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180@rails3/gems/mysql-2.8.1 for inspection. Results logged to /Users/admin/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180@rails3/gems/mysql- 2.8.1/ext/mysql_api/gem_make.out </code></pre> <p>So, through my research, I tried to specifically state the location of the MySQL install. </p> <pre><code>gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/var/mysql </code></pre> <p>Unfortunately, with the same results.</p> <p>Any ideas of where to go from here?</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>Kevin</p>
