This really has to do with the nature of Mac OS X Leopard and is somewhat unrelated to Rails or Ruby. Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) builds universal binaries by default. However, most installations of MySQL on Mac OS 10.5 are Intel only so you must tell the gcc compiler to build for your specific platform: i386 or ppc. Here is the command to use to install the mysql gem for Intel: sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" gem install mysql --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config Note: That is all one line. However, you may still have an issue with one of the dynamic libraries. This is where I had an issue with my install. Here is the fix: sudo install_name_tool -change /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.15.dylib /usr/local/mysql/libmysqlclient.15.dylib /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7/lib/mysql.bundle Note: You may need to confirm the paths in that command, because some of the blogs I tried didn't have it correct and I'm not sure if this one is one of those. So make sure the libmysqlclient.15.dylib is actually in the location specified above. Same goes for the mysql.bundle path. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
