Problem compiling mysql-ruby

ruby-talk
1

hello

I just downloaded mysql-ruby-2.4.4

and I can not compile it:

ruby extconf.rb --with-mysql-config
checking for mysql.h… yes
creating Makefile
extconf.rb:33: uninitialized constant CPP (NameError)

I have ruby
ruby 1.8.0 (2003-03-03) [i686-linux]
and MySQL 4.0.12 on RedHat 7.3

any ideas what is wrong here ?

Try the attached patch to extconf.rb. It works for me.

thanks. now it works.
I had to call extconf.rb like this.
ruby extconf.rb --with-mysql-config

otherwise the Makefile does nothing when calling
make

Thank you!
