Hi all,
  I am having issues with installing the mysql gem with the mysql
version 5.0.81 .Bulk updating Gem source index for:
http://gems.rubyforge.org
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing mysql:
  ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby
extconf.rb install mysql -- --with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql
--with-mysql-lib=/usr/local/mysql/lib
--with-mysql-include=/usr/local/mysql/include
can't find header files for ruby.

Gem files will remain installed in /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7
for inspection.
Results logged to /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7/gem_make.out
