Hi,

I have tried to install the MySQL C-binding for Ruby on FC6 with Xen (x86_64) with no luck so far. I am getting this error

sudo gem install mysql
Need to update 8 gems from http://gems.rubyforge.org
........
complete
Select which gem to install for your platform (x86_64-linux)
1. mysql 2.7.3 (mswin32)
2. mysql 2.7.1 (mswin32)
3. mysql 2.7 (ruby)
4. mysql 2.6 (ruby)
5. Skip this gem
6. Cancel installation

ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

ruby extconf.rb install mysql

Gem files will remain installed in /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7 for inspection.
Results logged to /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7/gem_make.out

It appears that it is searching for something in mysqlclient library, but I don't have that library installed, I only have libmysqlclient.a, so, etc. Can someone tell me why this is happening?
