Some ruby gems are compiled and they need dependencies. In this case
you need the MySQL development files. Usually it is an RPM like
mysql-devel that you need in addition to gcc, make, etc...

The first error is probably because you specify versions in gem
differently than how you tried above. For example:

gem install mysql -v 2.9.1

But since 2.9.1 is the latest it will be installed if you leave off a version.

You're the man Cory.

Works great.

Thanks.
