Sudo Gem Install Mysql - On OS X With Proper Parameters
posted 27 March 2008, Thursday
I had to install, fresh, Ruby On Rails this evening. I ran into a little road bump when issuing sudo gem install mysql on OS X.
The script prints out to the terminal:
! sudo gem install mysql
Select which gem to install for your platform (i686-darwin8.10.1)
1. mysql 2.7.3 (mswin32)
2. mysql 2.7.1 (mswin32)
3. mysql 2.7 (ruby)
4. mysql 2.6 (ruby)
5. mysql 2.5.1 (ruby)
6. Cancel installation
I picked 4 as a 1 & 2 are for Windows and option 3 installs the latest greatest Ruby. I just needed Ruby 1.8 support and therefore, I picked 4 but 5 could work, too.
My result was a failure:
! sudo gem install mysql

Solution was quickly GooGleD with few wrong answers, but Hivelogic, as usual rox!! A simple parameter was forgotten and not well documented. So now here it is for future reference, and in stickies for my lightening fast access. Stickies is still a great app.
