Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.

Gem files will remain installed in
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7 for inspection.

Steps I needed on CentOS 5 linux were (in addition to installed 'normal'
mysql)
1. Install mysql-devel "yum install mysql-devel" as root
2. Find the location of mysql_config "locate mysql_config" and fix that
full path to "--with-mysql-config=" option
3. Success!
