    <p>I've followed the instructions on <a href="http://geryit.com/blog/2011/01/installing-mysql-with-rails-on-mac-os-x-snow-leopard/" rel="noreferrer">http://geryit.com/blog/2011/01/installing-mysql-with-rails-on-mac-os-x-snow-leopard/</a> , including the installation of ruby via macport.</p> <p>Whenever I execute <strong><em>gem install mysql</em></strong> , I'll get the following error</p> <pre><code>bash-3.2# gem install mysql Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing mysql: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. /opt/local/bin/ruby extconf.rb checking for mysql_ssl_set()... no checking for rb_str_set_len()... no checking for rb_thread_start_timer()... no checking for mysql.h... no checking for mysql/mysql.h... no *** extconf.rb failed *** Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers.

I've installed the 32-bit mysql using the package file (.pkg) and also, I'm extremely new to ruby... </p> <p><strong><em>Update 4/26/11 5:11pm EST</em></strong> Installed RVM and updated ruby to 1.9.2 Also I have looked through the links posted on the comments. I did <code>locate mysql_config</code> and results were</p> <pre><code>/usr/local/mysql-5.1.56-osx10.6-x86/bin/mysql_config /usr/local/mysql-5.1.56-osx10.6-x86/man/man1/mysql_config.1 </code></pre> <p>Hence, I tried <code>gem install mysql - -with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql-5.1.56-osx10.6-x86/bin/mysql_config</code> but it still doesn't work... I did get new error information however..</p> <pre><code>/Users/kyle/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/lib/ruby/1.9.1/mkmf.rb:368:in `try_do': The complier failed to generate an executable file.
