Error with mysql step of bundle install

[tommyvernieri]

I was stuck on the bundle install step of the PFC instructions. I ended up installing libmysqlclient-dev to get past it. I'm not sure if that was right or not, but it seemed to work. I'm running a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04.

sudo aptitude install libmysqlclient-dev

Original output from bundle install:

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.

From ~/.bundle/ruby/1.8/gems/mysql-2.8.1/ext/mysql_api/mkmf.log:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient

I tracked the problem down to a typo in the command I copied from the wiki. I've updated the wiki with the correct package name.

I have the same problem on Ubuntu 10.10 installing:

ii libmysql-ruby1.8 2.8.2-1

Doesn't solve the problem i installed libmysqlclient-dev and works perfectly.

Thanks a lot.
