A new category of post. People who deserve a pizza.
For helping my out of my can’t-install-mysql-gem problem, I present to you http://marcgrabanski.com/article/installing-mysql-ruby-gem-mac-media-temple-dv.
Use of a mac will be forgiven for pure awesomeness.
I was getting errors along the lines of:
Building native extensions. This could take a while…
ERROR: Error installing mysql:

Ok, so if you ever happened to be in Minnesota, let’s get some pizza. =)
RE: your tagline:
“If even 1 person reads this, I will consider that a success”
That was exactly my thoughts when I wrote that mysql ruby gem article! It is now considered a success.
I’ll be sure to do that. Minnesota is a beautiful state. I’m from Wisconsin originally– that whole region is amazing.
Thanks for stopping by and thanks again for the post!
