在Linux和Ruby 1.9.2上安装MySQL-Ruby

我在使用Ruby 1.9.2在RedHat 4上安装MySQL-Ruby时遇到了非常困难的困难。我是一个公司代理的背后，几乎可以防止任何包工具连接到外部存储库，因此“gem install mysql”不会削减它。我已尝试在本地安装mysql-ruby gem，但它失败并带有一个神秘的：

$gem install mysql-2.8.1.gem
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing mysql-2.8.1.gem:
        ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

我也尝试按照附带的自述文件自己构建模块。结果：

$ruby extconf.rb --with-mysql-include=/path_to_my_sql_headers/mysql/include/ --with-mysql-lib=/path_to_my_sql_lib/mysql/lib/

有人有什么想法吗？坦率地说，我甚至不关心MySQL-Ruby是否有效，我只想通过ruby 1.9中的ruby调用连接到MySQL数据库。谢谢。

bundler通常会在rails中为我选择合适的包...我在之前安装的ubuntu上遇到了同样的问题，似乎我需要指定ruby版本，架构和mysql版本作为gem名称的一部分来使其映射到我正确的库版本。还要确保在搜索路径和ld路径中安装了所有正确的依赖项
