Old news, but you’d be surprised how many times the same:
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers.
...
error brings everything to a halt. Well on Centos the way to install the MySQL gem is:
$ sudo yum install mysql mysql-devel gcc
...

# 32 bit machine
$ sudo gem install mysql -- \
> --with-mysql-include=/usr/bin/mysql \
> --with-mysql-lib=/usr/lib/mysql

# or 64 bit like they are on SliceHost
$ sudo gem install mysql -- \
> --with-mysql-include=/usr/bin/mysql \
> --with-mysql-lib=/usr/lib64/mysq

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
