> Sorry Colin.. I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 and rails 2.3.5 In that case I believe you should be using sudo for installing gems, unless you are also using rvm which I think you are not, so sudo gem install mysql. I don't think that will fix the problem though, but try it first. Otherwise these are the packages I installed to get the rails development environment going. This was on 10.04 so it may not be spot on. You likely have most of them already. sudo apt-get install build-essential It might be worth trying again at this point, if the above installed anything. Otherwise: sudo apt-get install ruby ri rdoc libmysql-ruby ruby1.8-dev irb1.8 libdbd-mysql-perl libdbi-perl libmysql-ruby1.8 libnet-daemon-perl libplrpc-perl libreadline-ruby1.8 libruby1.8 rdoc1.8 ri1.8 ruby1.8 irb libopenssl-ruby libopenssl-ruby1.8 libhtml-template-perl That is all one line, though obviously you can split it into multiple sudo apt-get install commands if you want to. As I said that was for 10.04 rather than 10.10 so some of them may not be available I suppose. It will do no harm though provided it does not say that it is going to _remove_ anything. If it does say that then I would advise against doing it. Have you googled for install rails ubuntu 10.10? You might get a better list there. Alternatively you might like to consider installing under rvm, this gives you the flexibility to easily move up to the latest rails when you want to. If you are just starting I would recommend going with rvm and rails 3 anyway. I can tell you exactly what I did to install 2.3.x and 3 under rvm.
