I am having a problem installing the mysql2 gem.
This comes up when I do gem install mysql2
:
Marks-MacBook-Pro:~ Mark$ gem install mysql2

Also when I use rails server
this comes up:
Could not find gem 'mysql2 (>= 0, runtime)' in any of the gem sources listed in your Gemfile.
It seems that it cannot find the MySQL library. Have you installed MySQL?
Try installing it via homebrew:
brew install mysql
or install it via macports or fink or whatever you prefer.
Then try again with:
gem install mysql2
