Compiling Mysql Gem on Mac OS X 10.6

Posted on by

Is not that easy to get hooked up and working (well it wasn’t for me)…

So in an effort to save you a hunt around google follow these steps:

  1. Download the 64 bit version of Mysql and install
  2. You may need to update your PATH variable with the location of mysql, on my machine its /usr/local/mysql-5.1.40-osx10.5-x86_64/
  3. And then follow this command to compile the mysql gem: export ARCHFLAGS=”-arch i386 -arch x86_64″ ; sudo gem install –no-rdoc –no-ri mysql — –with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql/lib –with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config

You’ve hopefully arrived at a working mysql gem.

Good Luck!
