在Ubuntu/Debian和其他使用aptitude的发行版上:

sudo apt-get install libmysql-ruby libmysqlclient-dev

libmysql-ruby包已经被ruby-mysql所取代。这就是我找到解决办法的地方。

如果上面的命令不能工作，因为libmysql-ruby无法找到，下面的命令应该足够了:

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev

在使用yum的Red Hat/CentOS和其他发行版上:

sudo yum install mysql-devel

在Mac OS X和Homebrew上:

brew install mysql

Libmysql-ruby已经被淘汰和取代。新命令:

 sudo apt-get install ruby-mysql libmysqlclient-dev

我有几台电脑，32位和64位处理器，它们运行在Ubuntu Linux, Maverick(10.10)发行版上。

我也有同样的问题，对我来说 安装libmysqlclient-dev 完成了任务!!

I got the gem built on Mac OS X 10.6.6 by 1) Ensuring the Developer tools package is installed 2) Downloading the current MySQL package (5.5.8 in my case) from Source 3) Installing the cmake tool from cmake.org 4) Following the instructions in section 2.11 of INSTALL-SOURCE from the mysql distribution files 5) sudo gem install mysql2 -- --srcdir=/usr/local/mysql/include The gem built successfully, but there are two errors in the documentation that rdoc and ri complain about. But now when I try to require 'mysql2' I get a

LoadError: no such file to load -- mysql2/mysql2

我希望我得到的错误是libmysqlclient.16。Dylib无法找到，因为我们在另一篇文章中找到了(搜索install_name_tool)。

我的$PATH有/usr/local/mysql在里面(这是我的源代码和构建文件所在的位置)，所以我有点难住了。如果有人有什么想法，我会在睡了几个小时后再来看看。

对我来说，这很有帮助:

$ export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"
$ export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include"

然后:

gem install mysql2 -v '0.5.2' --source 'https://rubygems.org/' -- --with-cppflags=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include --with-ldflags=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib

结果:

Building native extensions with: '--with-cppflags=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include --with-ldflags=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib'
This could take a while...

请看这篇文章(警告:里面有日语)。

在ubuntu 20.04 LTS下，这是唯一的解决方案，一直为我工作:

sudo apt-get install ruby-mysql2
