@Just Wondering: Because it is not possible to use your existing gems reliably. We tried this in the past and it turns out that on some platforms, native extensions compiled against the existing Ruby installation can cause REE to crash, and the only way to prevent this is by reinstalling said gems. If there is a silver bullet we would have used it a long time ago.

I’m just wondering, why is it assumed by REE developers that reinstalling all Ruby Gems on a system is ok? I have over 50 gems used across 4 Rails applications, and this needs to be done on 5 servers.

I was hoping to use GEM_PATH to continue using the already-installed gems.

Update to previous comment: I tried correcting the reference in mysql.bundle to reflect the correct location of the mysqlclient.15.dylib file, and I got seg faults instead.

Per the instructions in “REE’s RubyGems no longer makes use of the existing gems”, I installed the MySQL gem with:

/opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20081205/bin/ruby /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20081205/bin/gem install mysql — –with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql

But I am getting the following error in /var/log/apache2/error_log:

[Tue Dec 09 22:14:28 2008] [notice] Apache/2.2.9 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.7l DAV/2 Phusion_Passenger/2.0.5 configured — resuming normal operations

Referenced from: /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20081205/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7/lib/mysql.bundle
Reason: image not found

I am running Leopard 10.5.5 and a local build of MySQL 5.0.45.

Thanks for your help. This is the first time I have tried to get this running.

Sorry for sounding impolite (and I assure you that I’m *always* calm , but this thing really caught me by surprise. Knowing the quality of your work, I find this “bug” really surprising, in a VERY bad way.
