I need to install mysql on the system. As usual I typed in gem install mysql. Instantly got an error message: “mysql requires Ruby version >= 1.8.6” Current version is at 1.8.4. Considering it’s a company’s server, it’s not easy to upgrade Ruby in a short time (people are afraid their stuff will be broken and it needs a special approval etc). What’s a simple way for me to get around it and install mysql there? I don’t need a latest version, just some mysql driver is probably enough.
The main gem requires higher than 1.8.4
But there’s another module from MySQL but not installed in the same way. And it requires 1.8.2 So you should be able to use that.
