sudo gem install mysql出错的解决方法

Installing the MySQL Driver

 

先查看所缺失的相关包：

$ apt-cache search libmysqlclient

 

libcrypt-mysql-perl - Perl module to emulate the MySQL PASSWORD() function.
libglpk0 - linear programming kit with integer (MIP) support
libmysqlclient16 - MySQL database client library
libmysqlclient16-dev - MySQL database development files
ser-mysql-module - contains the MySQL database connectivity module
libmysqlclient15-dev - MySQL database development files
libmysqlclient15off - MySQL database client library

 

再安装相关的包

/××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

         On Ubuntu, you should install libmysqlclient14-dev for MySQL 5, and libmysqlclient12-
dev for MySQL 4.

 ××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××/

按照更新的感觉，现在出来的应该是16对应的Mysql 5, 15对应的应该是Mysql 4.

我的Mysql版本

Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or /g.
Your MySQL connection id is 35
Server version: 5.0.75-0ubuntu10.2 (Ubuntu)

 

$ sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient16-dev

$ sduo gem install mysql
