After much digging and coaxing, I’ve gotten Ruby and Rails installed on
an AIX 5.3 box. However, I can’t seem to get the mysql gem to install.
I’ve googled a bit, and I’ve found some similar error messages, but
nothing has worked. I have the mysql aix binaries installed in
/usr/local/mysql. If I do
$sudo gem install mysql – --with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql, I get:
“*** extconf.rb failed ***”
If I change to the gem directory and run:
$sudo ruby extconf.rb
–with-mysql-conf=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
I get the following:
checking for mysql_ssl_set()… no
checking for mysql.h… no
checking for mysql/mysql.h… no
*** extconf.rb failed ***
I’ve tried a number of switch option, but nothing seems to work. Any
suggestions will be much appreciated.
