Msql2 gem

Hey Zach Hodder what operating system are you using -- are you on a Mac, Windows, or linux computer? Can you try doing the following also and paste the output here:

gem install mysql2

Hi Jason,

Thanks for reaching out. I'm on a Mac running os x 10.9.3. Here's the output after I try to install the gem:

Zachs-MacBook-Pro:biller zholdren$ gem install mysql2 Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing mysql2: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Hey Zach Holdren do you have mysql installed?

Yep. This is what I get when I check the version.

/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.25, for osx10.6 (i386) using EditLine wrapper

I did receive this output: -bash: type: mysql: not found

when I tried looking for the location: type -a mysql

I think MAMP is going to be the issue here. Try following along with these instructions and see if that helps.

Hi Jason,

It looks like this is the solution. However, I'm running into (no such file or directory) when I try to run step 11. Any suggestions?
