When I try rake db:migrate, I get the following error:
!!! The bundled mysql.rb driver has been removed from Rails 2.2. Please install the mysql gem and try again: gem install mysql.
rake aborted!
no such file to load — mysql

And when I try to “gem install mysql”

Building native extensions. This could take a while…
ERROR: Error installing mysql:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
/usr/bin/ruby extconf.rb
Can’t find header files for ruby.
Gem files will remain installed in /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.8.1 for inspection.

I checked the rubygems folder and mysql gem has been installed. Any ideas? Cheers

    As Sleepycat suggested, most probably you need the dev libraries for MySQL.

    On Fedora / CentOS this should solve your problem:

    yum install mysql-devel
gem install mysql
