Installing mysql2 gem on Ruby 1.9.2 and Rails 3.0.5 on Windows


When running 'bundle install' or 'gem install mysql2', I got following error:
>gem install mysql2
ERROR:  Error installing mysql2:
        The 'mysql2' native gem requires installed build tools.

Please update your PATH to include build tools or download the DevKit
from 'http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads' and follow the instructions
at 'http://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit'
 To solve this issue and to successfully install mysql2 gem, I took following steps:

1. Download Development Kit "http://github.com/downloads/oneclick/rubyinstaller/DevKit-tdm-32-4.5.1-20101214-1400-sfx.exe" from http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/
2. Followed the instructions given on link https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit
3. Extracted the downloaded DevKit.
4. cd <DEVKIT_INSTALL_DIR>
5. run ruby dk.rb init.

C:\Users\ritesh\Downloads\DevKit-tdm-32-4.5.1-20101214-1400-sfx>ruby dk.rb init
[INFO] found RubyInstaller v1.9.2 at C:/Ruby192
[INFO] found RubyInstaller v1.8.7 at C:/Ruby187

Initialization complete! Please review and modify the auto-generated
'config.yml' file to ensure it contains the root directories to all
of the installed Rubies you want enhanced by the DevKit.

6. edit the generated config.yml file as per your system available Rubies version if required
7. [optional] ruby dk.rb review to verify the changes you made to it are correct.

8. finally, ruby dk.rb install to DevKit enhance your installed Rubies.


C:\Users\ritesh\Downloads\DevKit-tdm-32-4.5.1-20101214-1400-sfx>ruby dk.rb install

[INFO] Skipping existing gem override for 'C:/Ruby187'
[WARN] Skipping existing DevKit helper library for 'C:/Ruby187'

9. You have successfully installed the DevKit, and now comes the step to install mysql2 gem, most important one for which we took so many steps. Make sure you are using Ruby 1.9.2 version.

10. Run gem install myql2 with parameters that I have passed, path can differ for you so make changes accordingly.

>gem install mysql2 -- '--with-mysql-lib="c:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\lib\opt" --with-mysql-include="c:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\include"'

    Hi,
    First of all, thanks for the article. :)

    Well I have followed all the steps that you mentioned above but i am getting the following error :

    Could not find gem 'mysql2 (>= 0, runtime)' in any of the gem sources listed in your Gemfile.

    I am using Ruby 1.9.2 and Rails 3.0.5 with IDE as RubyMine 3.1 and SQLYog Community for MySql5.1.

    Any Suggestions ?

    Hi Rashmi, Thanks for your encouragement and appreciation.
    When you are getting this error? What command you are executing? Have u added the line
    (gem 'mysql2') in Gemfile. Also please post your Gemfile details because this is something related Gemfile and gems version.

    Hi,
    I am getting the error when I try to create db - 'rake db:create' from cmd prompt as well as from IDE. Yes I have added (gem 'mysql2') in Gemfile.Also, i have added the 'libmySQL.dll' in Ruby192's bin dir.

    Contents of Gemfile are :

    source 'http://rubygems.org'

    gem 'rails', '3.0.5'

    # Bundle edge Rails instead:
    # gem 'rails', :git => 'git://github.com/rails/rails.git'

    gem 'mysql2'

    # Use unicorn as the web server
    # gem 'unicorn'

    # Deploy with Capistrano
    # gem 'capistrano'

    # To use debugger (ruby-debug for Ruby 1.8.7+, ruby-debug19 for Ruby 1.9.2+)
    # gem 'ruby-debug'
    # gem 'ruby-debug19', :require => 'ruby-debug'

    # Bundle the extra gems:
    # gem 'bj'
    # gem 'nokogiri'
    # gem 'sqlite3-ruby', :require => 'sqlite3'
    # gem 'aws-s3', :require => 'aws/s3'

    # Bundle gems for the local environment. Make sure to
    # put test-only gems in this group so their generators
    # and rake tasks are available in development mode:
    # group :development, :test do
    # gem 'webrat'
    # end

    P.S : For the time-being, I am using the Ruby192 dir [with rails 3.0.4] and it's working fine.

    But still I am eager to know the reason behind the error that I faced earlier for newer version of rails i.e 3.0.5 !!

    Thanks in advance :)

    Hi,

    Have u noticed any change in gem version when you are running rails 3.0.4 or rails 3.0.5?

    Try to run "gem update --system" to update the gems on rails 3.0.5 and then run 'bundle install'. Then 'rake db:create'.

    Meanwhile, I am trying to reproduce the issue at my end, also trying to figure out if there is any difference in behavior of rails 3.0.4 and rails 3.0.5 with respect to mysql or mysql2 gem.

    Thanks

    Please post the error that you are getting along with ruby version, rails version.

    Also, check post "http://rorguide.blogspot.com/2011/03/getting-error-specified-module-could.html" if that can help.

    Have you copied "libmySQL.dll" file from 'C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin' to 'C:\Ruby192\bin'

    Hi Rashmi,

    I am unable to reproduce any such error at my end.
    Which ruby version patch u r using? Check it with
    "ruby -v" command and give complete ruby version with patch details.

    Also, Rails 3.0.6 has been released, so once try with rails 3.0.6 version to test if that error occurs in 3.0.6 also.

    I use WAMP 2.1 as MySQL installation. What paths should I supply in the last step (gem install mysql2...) ?

    I mean I can't find "lib" and "include" MySQL directories in WAMP installation.

    I got it to work by using Ruby 1.8.7 and the x86 version of MySQL

    Misha: You problably have installed a "lite" version or some such, which doesn't include the mysql headers.
    Try downloading a full MySQL install from mysql.com (in my case, it had to be x86). Or, if you want everything in a single package, you can try XAMPP from apachefriends.org, but be sure to download the full version.

    P.S. Sorry for the double post

    Mikelis: I use WAMP rather than XAMPP. Do you think installing XAMPP instead will solve the problem ?

    ReplyDelete
  42. Ritesh KumarApril 27, 2011 at 12:06 PM

    Thanks Mikelis.
    Misha, when we install XAMPP, MySQL gets installed with "lib", "bin", "include" and other MySQL directories, and that I have verified on one of the system, so you can give it a try.

    Thanks

    I've tried a few of you guys suggestions, but I still get an error. The only different about my mySQL installation is that I didn't use the windows installer, I installed it manually and I don't have an opt directory. This is what I tried to do last:

    @Eric : I had exactly same issue. I've realized viewing other forums that mysql2 gem is not compatible with MySQL 64 bits. So I uninstalled MySQL and reinstalled x32 version (with msi installer). And now mysql2 is finally installed.

    hi. i've solved all problems on my machine in the following way.
    first of all, my system Win7 professional x64
    1. do first 9 steps from the article.
    2. download and install the version of MySQL that correspondes to your machine, my was MySQL v5.1.56 for x64 Windows, typical installation, do not forget to add your "bin" directory to the "path" variable(can do it through the installation).
    3. i've downloaded the "essential" version of MySQL, so there was some folders missing, such as "lib\opt","include" etc. Then i downloaded the full MySQL server in the zip and extracted "bin" "lib" and "include" folders into the installation folder of MySQL Server(mine: C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\)
    4.Then i took the "libmysql.dll" from the 32bit version of MySQL and copied it to "bin" folder of Ruby
    5. in the "cmd":
    Subst X: C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1
    gem install mysql2 -v 0.2.6 -- --with-mysql-dir=X: --with-mysql-lib=X:\lib\opt --with-mysql-include=X:\include

    after these manipulations the gem was installed and when i've tested the rake utility everything was ok

    hope that will help you.

    Thanks for the great article. My environment is Win7x64 + RoR 3.0.7. I was having problems with the hanging issue when running 'rake db:migrate'. So I downgraded my mysql2 to 0.2.6 and this appears to have fixed my hanging issues. Here is how I built my 0.2.6 mysql2 :

    subst X: "C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1"
    gem install mysql2 -v 0.2.6 --platform=ruby -- --with-mysql-dir=X: --with-mysql-lib=X:\lib\opt

    Hi Ankush,

    I really appreciate you taking the time to write up this blog. It is going on a week of this frustration that MySQL just will not work...

    I followed everyone of your steps religiously. I also followed the steps on this page:
    http://www.keenertech.com/articles/2011/06/05/mysql-and-rails-3-on-a-pc

    But I am not having any luck what so ever.

    I am running windows 7, rails 1.9.2, rails 3.0.9 and trying to run MySQL... When I get to step 10, like others, this is the error message that I receive:

    C:\ruby-dev-kit>gem install mysql2 -- '--with-mysql-lib="c:\Program Files\MySQL\
    MySQL Server 5.5\lib\opt" --with-mysql-include="c:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Ser
    ver 5.5\include"'

    Building native extensions. This could take a while...

    m_make.out

    I am sure you're sick of seeing this over and over again but I really don't what to do. I really don't want to give up on RoR but I can't make any progress unless I figure this out.

    side note: If I just type 'Rails Server' in the cmd prompt, I receive the following message, "The program can't start because sqlite3.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

    Please help!

    when you try to install the mysql2 gem with rails on xampp (using xampp's mysql installation) there is a problem. Mysql on xampp does not have the "library" and "includes" fodlers.... only "bin".

    Is there any workaround? (except ofc installing mysql for windows)

    Hi,

    When we install xampp, Mysql on xampp gets installed with "lib", "bin", "include" and other MySQL directories. If you don't find it try to re-install xampp.

    Ok I've done all of this to no avail. I have installed MySQL 5.5 64 bit so I downloaded the connector/c 32 bit into a separate directory and used it to install mysql2. I then copied the dll to the ruby lib folder.

    I thought everything worked so I tried rails server and I get this not a valid Win32 application. I'm stumped at this point since I'm already using my MySQL database for my Java projects.

    I have this running on my Ubuntu 64 machine, so could I dual develop even with different databases? Sometimes if you develop right in Java, you can abstract the database from the application and it'll never know the difference. Is SQLite3 too different?

    I had the same issue with installing mysql2 gem on Windows 7 x64 and I solved this. Please read this: https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Troubleshooting#gems_mix_bits

    solution:
    1. Download mysql-5.5.14-winx64.msi from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/ and install
    2. Download mysql-5.5.14-win32.msi, enter package by Total Commander by Ctrl+PgDn hotkey and copy contents of SourceDir/Mysql to D:/Temp
    3. Copy file d:\Temp\MySQL Server 5.5\lib\libmysql.dll to c:\Ruby192\bin\
    4. Install mysql2 gem by command:
    gem install mysql2 -- '--with-mysql-lib="d:\Temp\MySQL Server 5.5\lib" --with-mysql-include="d:\Temp\MySQL Server 5.5\include"'

    That`s all.

    MySQL Server 5.5\lib" --with-mysql-include="C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL S

    milton here some info that got me running on xp after i did the above and it still did not work

    your gemfile should state following:

    gem 'rails', '3.0.9'

    gem 'mysql', '~> 2.8.1'

    furthermore your database.yml should state following:

    adapter: mysql

    for all 3 instances !

    now you can do a succesful bundle install and mysql2 will install accordingly and work !

    Installing Rails with InstantRails is a no brainer..but for guys like me who wants to be productive and produce an application, this is such a hassle..

    subsequent bundle install attempts to install the mysql2 gem again, and promptly fails because I'm not giving it the lib and include path parameters. Any idea what is causing this discrepancy between what gem install does and what bundle install does? Or, alternatively, is there a way to pass those same parameters to bundle?

    I'm running on Win7 (32-bit) machine, having just upgraded to Ruby 1.9.2. Had the mysql2 installation issue on 1.8.7, which I had been using previously, but gem install was able to keep bundle happy... Did something change for 1.9 or is there a way to check if bundle is getting my gems between the two Ruby version on my machine confused?

    Hi Alex,

    First, some clarification on your issues:
    1. Discrepancy between gem install and bundle install seems to be of mysql2 version issue (Or can be a case of installation of gem between two Ruby versions)

    2. In Gemfile, we don't require to pass any lib or include path for mysql2, normally it works with version and source parameters(In my case -
    gem 'mysql2', '< 0.3')

    3. Which version of Ruby you are using? You can manage between Ruby multiple versions on Windows by 'Pik' to avoid versions confusion. (http://rorguide.blogspot.com/search/label/Pik)

    Now, some queries and steps that can fix your issue:
    1. Which version of mysql2 gem you installed?

    2. Delete 'Gemfile.lock' and then run 'bundle install'

    3. After you installed gem, did you close that terminal and open a new one and then tried to run bundle install.

    4. Make sure, you are running 'bundle install' on the same Ruby version on which you have installed the 'mysql2' gem.

    Hope this will clarify few of your doubts. Let me know about the installation results.

    Thanks

    Hi Ron Tuibeo,

    Sorry to hear that you are facing installation issue :(
    Can you post the error messages, gemfile details about the mysql2 versions, ruby and rails version to help us in analyzing the issue.

    And and.... 'too much configuration and convention' is one of the beauty that RoR provides to make work easier and faster, it doesn't force you to follow them and your installation issue has nothing to do with it.

    Hey Ritesh, thanks for the help! After spending a few more hours digging through it, I did find that my issue was that the gem versions were out of sync. Getting everything lined back up seems to have made things work, but I'll stick with 1.8.7 for now, and will try an upgrade later. On the bright side, I feel far more familiar with gem and bundler at this point...

    Hi Scott,

    Some steps which can help you in solving this issue:

    Which version of 'MySQL Server' you are using?
    Which mysql2 version you are mentioning in 'GemFile'?

    Copy "libmySQL.dll" file from 'C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\library' to 'C:\Ruby192\bin' and then try 'bundle install'


    Use below command to install mysql2:
    gem install mysql2 -- '--with-mysql-lib="c:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\lib" --with-mysql-include="c:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\include"'

    Hi,

    I have the same problem, I can't get mysql2 to run. I use Win 7 64 Bit with:

    >ruby -v
    ruby 1.9.2p290 (2011-07-09) [i386-mingw32]

    >rails -v
    Rails 3.0.10

    >gem -v
    1.8.10

    I use mysql 32 Bit and copied the libmysql.dll to ruby192/bin

    gem install mysql2 does not work, but I tried with
    >gem install mysql2 -v 0.2.6
    as mentioned above, and it seams to work:

    Successfully installed mysql2-0.2.6-x86-mingw32

    But when I start my rails server I get:

    Someone facing this issue, taken from my email.

    Hi Ritesh,
    I found your post and tried your solution:
    http://rorguide.blogspot.com/2011/03/installing-mysql2-gem-on-ruby-192-and.html

    I am running: ruby 1.9.2p290
    rails 3.0.10
    and mysql2 0.2.7 with mysql 5.5

    with mysql gem everythings works fine, but i cannot get mysql2 running on windows (windows server 2003). On MacOS everything works fine.

    The problem with the normal mysql gem is, that i get ascii/utf8 problems.

    When i try to run the server with your setup, it starts, but i cannot connect to it via browser.

    Do you have any suggestions?

    Would be very nice, if you can help me with that.

    Hi,
    after (too) many tries I finally got my solution.

    Windows 7 x64
    Ruby 1.9.2p290
    Rails 3.0.10
    MySql 5.5 x64

    Ruby is 32bit so I guess the problem is working with the 64bit dll provided with the MySql install.
    I've read somewhere (sorry I don't remember where but thanks) that it's useful to use the 32bit connector downloadable from the MySql site.
    I've downloaded "mysql-connector-c-noinstall-6.0.2-win32.zip" and unzipped it under C:\ and copied the libmysql.dll in my C:\ruby192\bin folder.

    Rails wants version 0.2.13 of the mysql2 gem so I've built that version using this command that points to the connector files:
    gem install mysql2 -v 0.2.13 -- '--with-mysql-lib="C:\mysql-connector-c-noinstall-6.0.2-win32\lib" --with-mysql-include="C:\mysql-connector-c-noinstall-6.0.2-win32\include"'

    After that I've been able to execute "bundle install" and "rails server" on my project without further problems...

    I do hope that this helps and thanks to all for the suggestions!

    Hi Jacobson,

    At first sight, it seems to be a Devkit installation problem.
    Have you installed DevKit properly with correct version?
    "https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit" link will help you in installation of Devkit.

    Once it has installed, you can install mysql2 with the above command.

    Thanks

    Hello All,

    First of all thanks for making such kind of solutions for us.
    All things are fine but here several kind of dependencies are going on, like rails version, mysql2 version, and ruby version.for complete installation use these steps.
    step 1. Install dev kit for windows.
    and follow instruction from above.
    And make one change
    Use this command for installation: Here related to mysql path is path of local installation directory.
    gem install mysql2 –v=0.2.6 -- '--with-mysql-lib="c:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\lib\" --with-mysql-include="c:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\include"'

    step 2: After installing use your version mysql2 –v 0.2.x, because –v0. 3.x don’t work on window or Rails 3 or Ruby 1.9.

    step 3: update in your gem file form gem 'mysql2' to gem 'mysql', '0.2.x' # here x=6..10.

    One point to note here if you use 0.3.x version for rails 3.1.x then it will not support.
    and

    if You use mysql2 -v=0.3.x then it will require mysql2-adapter for active record so use mysql2-v0.2.x.

    Enjoy with mysql2 on ruby 1.9 and rails 3.0.x


    Cheers.

    Hi all, first of all thank you for the post and the useful comments. I've followed all the steps but when executing rake db:drop or rake db:create the execution never ends after the warning message:
    C:\>rake db:drop
    WARNING: Global access to Rake DSL methods is deprecated. Please include
    ... Rake::DSL into classes and modules which use the Rake DSL methods.

    When executing rails s the messages seems correct but when trying to connect from a browser it says waiting for localhost and it never ends neither.

    C:\>rails s

    Have you seen that behavior before?

    Hi again, it seems that the problems with rake db:drop and rails s are solved after installing ruby 1.8.7 so the problem was caused by Ruby 1.9.2 and 1.9.3 (just in case it helps). Thanks!

    Hi, make sure that there is a Gemfile located at that path from where you are running bundle install because Bundle install checks Gemfile and then install gems present in Gemfile

    Thank you very much for this post. I'd been trying for almost an hour to get this gem installed but kept getting errors about missing headers or libraries when I tried to run gem install. Your solution worked perfectly on the first try.

    I had this error :

    C:\Ruby192\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\mysql2-0.2.7\ext\mysql2/client.c:111: undefined reference to `mysql_real_connect@32'
    client.o: In function `nogvl_init':
    C:\Ruby192\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\mysql2-0.2.7\ext\mysql2/client.c:102: undefined reference to `mysql_init@4'
    client.o: In function `set_ssl_options':
    C:\Ruby192\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\mysql2-0.2.7\ext\mysql2/client.c:612: undefined reference to `mysql_ssl_set@24'
    collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
    make: *** [mysql2.so] Error 1

    The solution :

    Download last MySQL connector from http://cdn.mysql.com/Downloads/Connector-C/mysql-connector-c-noinstall-6.0.2-win32.zip (32 bits because 64 bits causes the problem "undefined reference" uninstall 64 bits if needed)

    Extract it to C:\connector-6.0.2

    gem install mysql2 --platform=ruby -- '--with-mysql-lib="C:\connector-6.0.2\lib" --with-mysql-include="C:\connector-6.0.2\include" --with-mysql-dir="C:\connector-6.0.2"'

      When rake db:migrate, an other problem appears :

      mysql2.so not found

      The solution : copy libmysql.dll from C:\connector-6.0.2\lib and replace into C:\Ruby\bin where Ruby is installed
