Rails-MySQL Error - uninitialized constant MysqlCompat::MysqlRes

Question

Trying to get a Rails app running on Snow Leopard.

• Downloaded mysql-5.5.8-osx10.6-x86_64.dmg and ran installer
• Ruby 1.8.7 (Default OS X version)

Answer 1

Not had the experience myself and I'm using Snow Leopard, RVM and rails 2.3.5 to 3.0.3, but found another view which deals with the uninstall and reinstall via :

export ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64" ;sudo gem install --no-rdoc --no-ri -v=2.7 mysql -- --with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
