Hi,

I've setting up my ROR environemtn in Ubuntu linux, however,  I'm
having difficulties when installing the mysql driver:

# gem install mysql
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing mysql:
        ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

/usr/bin/ruby1.8 extconf.rb
extconf.rb:10:in `require': no such file to load -- mkmf (LoadError)
        from extconf.rb:10


Gem files will remain installed in /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/
mysql-2.8.1 for inspection.
Results logged to /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.8.1/ext/
mysql_api/gem_make.out


Not sure how to deal with the last paragraph.

I googled about the error and tried the suggested
gem install mysql --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/
mysql_config

but did not work.

Please help!
