无法在Mac Os下通过Gem安装Mysql

在Mac Os下通过Gem安装Mysql时，老是报错：

ERROR:  Error installing mysql:
    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

 貌似是缺少了某些文件导致的，于是看了看/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby extconf.rb发现extconf.rb好像需要Mysql的PATH，于是执行：

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin
sudo gem install mysql -v '2.8.1'

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin
sudo gem install mysql -v '2.8.1'

 

问题解决：
