I am attempting to install the mysql2 gem on OpenIndiana 151 without success :(

I have the MySQL 5.1 server/client/library packages installed:

$ pkg list | grep mysql
database/mysql-51                             5.1.37-0.151.1  installed  -----
database/mysql-51/library                     5.1.37-0.151.1  installed  -----
database/mysql-common                         0.5.11-0.151.1  installed  -----

But when I attempt to install the gem:

gem install mysql2 -v '0.2.17' -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/mysql/5.1/bin/mysql_config

I get the following output:

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing mysql2:
        ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Gem files will remain installed in /home/aburns/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290@quibbler/gems/mysql2-0.2.17 for inspection.

As you can see GCC fails with the gcc: language norunpath not recognized.

I am not familiar enough with GCC our native gem building to know what to do next.

Based on my research I think norunpath is a Sun specific flag that GCC does not support; however I am not sure how, or even if, I can remove it.

Please advise.

I wrote about it on my blog a while ago:

$ export PATH=/usr/gnu/bin:$PATH
$ gem install mysql2 -v '0.2.18' -- --with-mysql-dir=/usr/mysql/5.1 --with-mysql-include=/usr/mysql/5.1/include/mysql

  • Holly crap I hope this works! Thanks Matt, I really like the OI platform but this was a deal breaker for me. Thanks! – Andrew Burns Jun 06 '12 at 16:37
  • Yeah, it's an awesome platform. Been a few struggles getting rails up and running. My patch for passenger has finally been included, and passenger 3.0.13 should be all systems go if your using a rails app and apache. Good luck! – Matt Connolly Jun 07 '12 at 01:21
