Are you on OS X using fink or on Debian or Ubuntu? If so, you probably
need to install the mysql-dev package (might be named mysql-5.1-dev or
something similar for whichever version you're using).

Kevin,

Yeah I guess my post should have included my arch and mysql version :)

$ mysql --version
mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.21, for apple-darwin8.5.1 (i686) using readline 5.0

I installed mysql through the standard dmg. I suppose then I'll
reinstall using fink with the mysql-dev package unless there is an
easier way.

Oh, I've never used the dmg they provide. I would think it would come
with the dev headers, but maybe not. I've always used fink to install
it, with good results.

You don't need to do that. If mysql is installed into /usr/local (I
don't remember what does the DMG do, I installed it thru ports), then
you can do

$ PATH=/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH sudo gem install do_mysql

(If there's nothing at /usr/local/mysql then use `locate mysql_config`
to find the directory)
This works for me ok on Leopard and mysql "Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.45,

for apple-darwin8.5.1 (i686) using readline 5.0"

Best,
-Nicolas

Thanks for all the help. In case anyone else runs into the same
thing... I just installed from source via the excellent
http://hivelogic.com/articles/installing-mysql-on-mac-os-x and that fixed it.

Best,

Zack
