please help i am running Mac os x 10.5.7 - have mysql 64 bit installed - ruby 1.8.6 - rails 2.2.2. All ruby and rails functions seemed to be working fine until I tried to do a simple rake db:migrate last night and got errors that seemed to indicate mysql gem needed to be installed (is this true?), I tried to install it and got ruby header errors (amongst others) wich indicated i needed to install xCode (from OS dvd), so i installed that and then was (i think) able to get the mysql gem on but the migrate still throws funky errors:
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _mysql_init Referenced from: /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7/lib/ mysql.bundle Expected in: dynamic lookup and does not work! Now I am not sure where I stand and after much googling it seems many people are going through this and there are various fixes and advice but all of them different. I now have like 9 GB worth of xCode on my system (for a reason I don't grasp) - may or may not have the mysql gem installed - and still cant migrate. can someone tell me if this situation is common? what the correct fix is? Do I need xCode? How do i uninstall xCode if I don't? Rails/mySQL/Mac is about as common a marriage there is, so I cant imagine I am alone. pretty sure I can back out the huge xCode install and uninstall the mySQL driver to start over if someone can walk me through the correct resolution. thanks --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
