2 years ago I'm facing the same error but on macOS Catalina. I see mysql client is missing. You may need to 'brew install mysql' or 'port install mysql', and try again. But I've already done brew install mysql@5.7.0
Hi there, I'm trying to install the gem on windows, and I can't figure out what the mysql client is, I've followed a lot of links I found to it, and I know it's part of the C connector library, but I can only get to the C++ connector library at this point. Does anyone know the filename for the mysqlclient library? I get the following in gem_make.out:

mysql client is missing. Check your installation of MySQL or Connector/C, and try again.
extconf.rb failed Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more details. You may need configuration options.
