Mysql Not Installing - Trying to Use it with RoR
I'm following the guides in a Lynda program teaching Ruby on Rails.
The guy suggests using mysql instead of using the default mysqlite3.
I ran this:
rails new simple_cms -d mysql
and this is part of the error
An error occured while installing mysql2 (0.3.11), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install mysql2 -v '0.3.11'` succeeds before bundling.
Solution 1:
There are many people asking this question already. If you are using linux,
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
If you are using mac, use homebrew
brew install mysql
then run gem install mysql2
