Installing the mysql gem with Ruby 1.9.2 on Snow Leopard

On my system, I installed MySQL with installer downloaded from their site, not MacPorts, or Homebrew.

So, MySQL is installed at this path:

/usr/local/mysql-5.1.42-osx10.6-x86_64/

I have a sym-link for that path at:

/usr/local/mysql/

The following command worked for me for installing the mysql gem.

env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config

Drive: The surprising truth about what motivates us

Some interesting notes.

Money is a bad motivator.

Pay enough so that money is not an issue.

3 Factors to Better Performance and Satisfaction:

  • Autonomy
  • Mastery
  • Purpose

Purpose maximizers, not profit maximizers.
