I try to install gem mysql2 on server 10.6 and I get an error message that I did not see:
EBuilding native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing mysql2: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby extconf.rb checking for rb_thread_blocking_region()... no checking for mysql.h... no checking for mysql/mysql.h... no ----- mysql.h is missing. please check your installation of mysql and try again. ----- *** extconf.rb failed *** Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers.

I tried a couple of things, indicating where the built-in MySQL sudo gem install mysql2 -- --with-mysql-dir=/var/mysql , and also replacing the built-in mysql with a pre-installed 64-bit installer with mysql.com
Any ideas?
