My Mac OS X version is 10.6.6 Ruby version is 1.9.2 Rails version is
3.1 Please note that I have installed MAMP before. When I type gem
install mysql2, a message shows:

ERROR: Error installing mysql2:

Have you upgraded to Lion since your original installation? If so, you
need to reinstall the unix tools from Xcode and that should alleviate
the issue for you. Hope that helps.
