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

C:/Ruby200-x64/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb
checking for main() in -llibmysql... no
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary
libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more details.  You may
need configuration options.

 Provided configuration options:

    --with-opt-include
    --without-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include

Do you mean to use the mysql gem? I thought mysql2 is now the standard/recommended gem to use with mysql databases.

Anyhow, this link might help you to get it installed: Unable to install mysql2 gem on windows 7

Actually we should have the native development libraries when installing native extensions. For ubuntu it is libmysql2-dev, the same way find what is the dev lib for windows and install it. That could be solve your problem
