I have troubles with mysql gem installation. I performed this in my terminal: (I am using Mac OS X Snow Leopard)
sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" gem install mysql -- \
--with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql --with-mysql-lib=/usr/local/mysql/lib \ --with-mysql-include=/usr/local/mysql/include Password: Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing mysql: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Check the mkmf.log file for more details. You may need configuration options.

Gem files will remain installed in /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.8.1 for inspection. Results logged to /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.8.1/ext/mysql_api/gem_make.out
What I have to do next? To have mysql running with my ruby application?
