Installing MySQL Gem on Mac OSX with XAMPP
I was having lot of trouble on installing the MySQL Gem for Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.9 via XAMPP. I have the XAMPP running and also mySQL. Here are the steps.
1. Install XAMPP for MAC
2. Install XAMPP Dev Package
3. From your terminal type the following command and you’ll see the following
1 | sudo gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-dir=/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/ -- with-mysql-lib=/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib -- with-mysql-include=/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/include/ -- with-mysql-config=/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/mysql_config |
Results:
1 2 3 4 5 | Building native extensions. This could take a while... Successfully installed mysql-2.7 1 gem installed Installing ri documentation for mysql-2.7... Installing RDoc documentation for mysql-2.7... |
