Installing mysql-2.9.0 gem on Windows fails due to lack of libmysql

Question

I\'m trying to install Redmine 2.1.4 on Windows Server 2003. For it to work, I need to install activerecord-mysql-adapter gem, which in turn seems to rely on

Answer 1

Try with no installer version of connector from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/c/ and extract the content in root folder or a folder path which does not have any space for and then try to install mysql gem

example

gem install mysql --platform=ruby -- --with-mysql-dir=C:/mysql-connector-c-noinstall-6.0.2-win32
