From reading the mkmf.log file, the configurator never tries to look into /usr/lib64/mysql for the libs, despite the mysql_config supplying the right directory, and also despite the command-line option -with-mysql-lib=/usr/lib64/mysql. Since it appears that the configurator also tries /usr/local/lib/mysql, I got the package to build by: ln -s /usr/lib64/mysql /usr/local/lib/mysql Seems to build and install correctly. It might be a conflict between the i386 and x86_64 packages. I started running into other problems, so I uninstalled a lot of the i386 stuff, and lo and behold, things started working a lot better.

I'm also receiving the "Error: Missing Dependency: subversion = 1.4.2-2.el5 is needed by package subversion-ruby" error but cannot figure why this is occurring. Thanks much!

You can run the following command: # yum install mysql-server mysql-devel My instructions were based on a fresh install of RHEL server v 5.0, so if you installed MySQL or any of the other packages from source you may need to do things differently. Cheers, Brad Alex,
