Sigh.

Can't get MySQL with Rails working. Been at it all day. Let me try to  
summarize.

Installed mysql-5.1.37-osx10.5-x86_64



Did
        sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install mysql -- –with-mysql- 
config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config

which resulted in:

ERROR:  Error installing mysql:
        ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby  
extconf.rb install mysql -- –with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/ 
mysql_config

*** 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.




I installed all the stuff in the MySQL dmg. Got tired of having to  
restart System Preferences to go into MYSQL prefs, so installed a 64  
bit version someone made. But with *either* of them, trying to either  
stop or start MySQL locked up System Preferences and sent this to the  
console:

8/31/09 11:11:54 PM     authexec[66464] executing /Users/gisborne/Library/ 
PreferencePanes/MySQL.prefPane/Contents/Resources/mahelper
8/31/09 11:11:54 PM     kernel  SAM Multimedia: READ or WRITE failed,  
SENSE_KEY = 0x05, ASC = 0x6f, ASCQ = 0x03
8/31/09 11:11:54 PM     kernel  disk2: privilege violation.


over and over. I killed System Preferences, but it's still happening.  
Process numbers involved keep changing, so I can't work out how to  
kill it.

I've been googling all sorts of slightly different versions of how to  
fix this, and tried all sorts of things, but they all fail in the same  
way.

Thoughts?
