Installing latest mysql2 on windows 7

ruby-talk
1

Hello,

How can I do that? Every time I try to do that (by enhancing my rubies via devkit) it fails on extconf.rb (I have 0.2.6 but trying to install 0.3.7).

So what’s the suggestion you have for me, if you please ? As a sidenote, I tried this method : http://rorguide.blogspot.com/2011/03/installing-mysql2-gem-on-ruby-192-and.html but it still fails

Godspeed –

Safest way:

Replace mysql with mysql2 gem and should work (except for the IRB
testing code since mysql2 is different)
