I have tried to install gem install mysql
on wsl2
but I got the error.
Building native extensions. This could take a while...ERROR: Error installing mysql: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension./usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.7-head/bin/ruby extconf.rbchecking for mysql_query() in -lmysqlclient... nochecking for main() in -lm... yeschecking for mysql_query() in -lmysqlclient... nochecking for main() in -lz... yeschecking for mysql_query() in -lmysqlclient... nochecking for main() in -lsocket... nochecking for mysql_query() in -lmysqlclient... nochecking for main() in -lnsl... yeschecking for mysql_query() in -lmysqlclient... nochecking for main() in -lmygcc... nochecking for mysql_query() in -lmysqlclient... noGem files will remain installed in /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-head/gems/mysql-2.9.1 for inspection.Results logged to /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-head/gems/mysql-2.9.1/ext/mysql_api/gem_make.out
previously I tried to these answers listed [here][1], and [here][2], but none worked for me!. I also installed libmysqlclient-dev mysql-server
but it seems this is a different problem.
EDIT:
well, someone suggested to reinstall libmysqlclient-dev
apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
and then I got another error:
