Re: Comprehensive Instructions (?) : CORRECTLY Installing AND MAINTAINING mysql Ruby Gem installations ON ANY SYSTEM

[Sherman T]

Thanks for this very detailed set of instructions and I have a very similar configuration as you. I am however still getting the dreaded "uninitialized constant MysqlCompat::MysqlRes" error even after trying to do this:

sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install mysql --no-rdoc --no-ri -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config

Doing a "which mysql" confirms that I am in the right ballpark as to the directory the mysql_config was supposed to be in (the same as yours). I even tried to be a bit more specific:

sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install --no-rdoc --no-ri mysql -- --with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config

I did remember to cd to the gem directory, and I did remember to full uninstall all mysql gems.

Any more hints as to what I can check?
