ah - that seems to make perfect sense. I shouldn't have pushed the envelope with the 64 bit mySQL and I knew it at the time.
ok so with 32 bit mySQL I should have none of these issues and therefore don't even need the xCode for ruby header files etc I guess with that in mind, can anyone help me with how to completely uninstall the mySQL version I have now (64 bit) so I can then go get the 32 bit clean and how to uninstall the entire xCode tools package I installed cleanly? thanks for the help guys... live and learn On May 20, 2:58 am, Frederick Cheung <[email protected]> wrote: > On May 20, 6:02 am, agilehack <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > > > please help > > > i am running Mac os x 10.5.7 - have mysql 64 bit installed - ruby > > 1.8.6 - rails 2.2.2.
