Whilst deploying a VirtualBox of Ubuntu to act as a Ruby on Rails development server I hit several issues. One of which was installing the mysql gem with the command

sudo gem install mysql

Giving me the error of

With some googling I found the solution at mentalized.net needing to install ruby1.8-dev as it was missing in my case. To solve enter the following command…

sudo apt-get install ruby1.8-dev

That solved one problem but I hit another trying to install the mysql gem.

This one took more googling but eventually found codeweblog giving a solution. Again I was missing further dependent libraries in this case libmysqlclient15-dev. To install that enter the command…

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient15-dev

Installing the mysql gem should now work.

Hope this helps.

I had this error when attempting to checkout my repository.

svn checkout https://server_location.com:8443/svn/repository_name

My mistake if not a suckerpunch was having mis-typed the location of the repository. So you may want to check you have correctly typed in the location of the repository or if the location of the repositry has been moved.

Hope this helps.
