I am trying to install a gem on linux but it is giving me an error:
An error occured while installing mysql2 (0.3.11), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure tha
I was using LInux 16 Cinnamon and got that error message. I used "Resure"'s, solution sudo apt-get install libmysql-ruby libmysqlclient-dev
then ran bundle install for project.
It worked!
Probably, it can't build mysql2 native extension.
If you're using Ubuntu 14.04 or newer, try sudo apt-get install ruby-mysql libmysqlclient-dev
.
On older versions of Ubuntu install this: sudo apt-get install libmysql-ruby libmysqlclient-dev
On OS X: brew install mysql
