Hello. The documentation that comes with 1.7rc says:
"You can use MySQL without installing a gem, but installing the gem can
speed things up a bit: sudo install gem mysql."
Shouldn't that be "sudo gem install mysql"?
The docs also say that ruby "Version 1.8.6 is recommended". What about
1.8.7? The latest ubuntu ships with that version.
By the way, with only ruby, libruby, libreadline-ruby, and rubygems
installed, I get this error when trying to install the mysql gem:
p$ sudo gem install mysql
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing mysql:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
/usr/bin/ruby1.8 extconf.rb install mysql
extconf.rb:1:in `require': no such file to load -- mkmf (LoadError)
from extconf.rb:1
Gem files will remain installed in /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7 for
inspection.
Results logged to /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7/gem_make.out
These are the packages available. Can I just install one of them instead?
libdataobjects-mysql-ruby1.8
libdbd-mysql-ruby
libdbd-mysql-ruby1.8
libmysql-ruby
libmysql-ruby1.8
Also, the documentation says that ruby, rubygems, and the ruby mysql gem
are the only needed software. Does that mean that libfcgi is already
included? If it is not, it would be better to be clear about that. Same
question with rake. Is it provided by tracks, or do I need to get it
separately?
