Apt-Get not finding Packages

I`m currently trying to install the mysql packages for a rails 3 app via apt-get, so I can get the corresponding gems working.

When I run :

sudo apt-get install libmysql-ruby libmysqlclient-dev

I get:

E: Couldn't find package libmysql-ruby

I when try to update apt, I get:

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done

If this helps, apt got install via Fink for max osx (10.7) I would appriciate anykind of help with this issue.

In order to resolve

Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension error for mysql2,

Simply try with following commands,

sudo apt-get install ruby-mysql

& then

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev

Well, I'm not really sure this is a programming question... But try this one out: apt-cache search libmysql-ruby to check for the package name and see if there is something else like it, or if that's a different spelling.

Just simple guess :

apt-cache search mysql | grep lib

Or just directly

apt-cache search libmysql-ruby

That may give you a hint to know if the package name is a little bit different.
