I met the same problem on Cent OS 5.3. My solution is follow: 1. sudo yum install mysql-devel.x86_64 2. gem install mysql So you need mysql-devel package For Mac, I found some answers from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2716527/how-to-install-mysql-gem-on-mac-os-10-6 you can try this: http://www.tmtm.org/en/ruby/mysql/ to download the tar file, and run the command below # ruby ./install.rb
