Hello everyone, I wanted to learn about Ruby on Rails and its advantages and I decided to start with some tutorials. Unfortunately I'm forced to post my problem on the forum after days of unsuccessful solutions. I've installed Railsinstaller and mysql 5.5.15 64 bit version. I'm running win 7. I've been using the following command:
C:\>gem install mysql2 -- --with-mysql-lib=C:\MySQL\lib --with-mysql-include=C:\MySQL\include I've used this command and included path for Mysql 32 bit (lib, include directories) but I constantly get the following error: C:/RailsInstaller/Ruby1.9.2/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb --with-mysql-lib=C:\MySQL\lib --with-mysql-include=C:\MySQL\include checking for rb_thread_blocking_region()... yes checking for main() in -llibmysql... no *** extconf.rb failed *** 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. For what I understand it might be having problems finding the right library for the install. Any help is warmly appreciated. I've manage to create a working application with SQLite, but I honestly prefer to use Mysql.
