Hi, I Have a PROBLEM when i try to install the MYSQL GEM for Rails 2.2

First i use XAMPP for MacOSX and the default ordner is /Applications/xampp/xamppfiles

Always when i try to install the gem -- with
sudo gem install mysql or sudo gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/bin/mysql_config

i get followend error messages..... ????see below-

Code:

sudo gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/bin/mysql_config

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing mysql:

I am getting the exact same issues... did you manage to resolve this? I have spent days trying to get RoR, MySQL, Apache, and PHP working on my MBP and XAMPP solved MySQL, PHP, and Apache all in one hit... until I attempted top install the MySQL adaptor through gems...

Specs:
MBP Intel Core Duo
Leopard 10.5.6
Rails 2.2.2
gem 1.3.1
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-03-03 patchlevel 114) [universal-darwin9.0]
Latest xampp install including developer package

yes.. but give me this weekend i will post the solution here.. now,i have to reinstall my leopard..

this is the reason i cant put now exactly the solution(with all the rights paths)

but first i would recomend you to install ruby 1.8.7 on your leopard.How !?
With macports,only donwload the packages and than go to the terminal and put. sudo port install ruby and wait until the installation is done, after that reinstall the rubygems(i recommend to download it (the lastest version 1.3.1) and entpack it and go to the folder with the terminal and put sudo ruby setup.rb

If it's still of any interest I solved it with the following steps:

1. Latest XAMPP with developer package
2. Snow Leopard stock Ruby
3. Run the following command:

Code:

 sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" gem install mysql --  --with-mysql-config=/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/mysql_config
