This doesn't have anything to do with Merb, but with the lack of MySQL development headers on your system. You need to install libmysqlclient15-dev (or something similar). You can do this through the graphical package manager or by running a command like apt-get install libmysqlclient15-dev. I haven't checked the exact package name, so please verify this. -- Regards, Dirkjan Bussink --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "merb" group.
