The biggest concept to take away from this is that mysql architecture must match the selected ruby's architecture so you have to install/compile both to the same arch. You can find out the architecture of each by inspecting the output of: file $(which mysql) file $(which ruby) Also be aware that there were just two bugfixes in building rubies: * it now honors (again) the configure flags passed in on the command line -C --enable-shared,--with-iconv-dir=........... * It now specifies configure flags --host and --build on OSX in order to ensure that it will properly build as x86_64 or i386. Thank you for using rvm ! ~Wayne That is correct.
