mysql-gem faulty "fat binary" support: silent failure on *NIX #6

Closed pilcrow closed 14 years ago

pilcrow commented 14 years ago

Issue

On non-Windows platforms, .../lib/mysql.rb silently discards any LoadError when loading mysql_api. *NIX platforms might give such an error if the system version of MySQL was incompatibly upgraded beyond that against which the mysql/ruby gem was built.

Symptoms

The ::Mysql module is created but more-or-less empty, with no methods and no meaningful constants. Example end-user symptoms are reported here and here.

Corrected fat-binary support. Closed by a06fc96c03dc8d7cc62567d13c88875906546538

Namespace mysql_api component into mysql library path
Try search for {1.8, 1.9}/mysql_api inside mysql lib before directly
Removed RUBY_PLATFORM conditional.
