Installing datamapper mysql dm-mysql-adapter on redhat

I'm trying to move a small Sinatra app I have going on an Ubuntu box to a redhat box.

While installing gems, I get a "Can't build native extension" error while trying to install the gem dm-mysql-adapter.

I have mysql-devel installed, which I believe is the required library, but it doesn't seem to work.

All the info I can find online is for Ubuntu and says install开发者_StackOverflowing libmysqlclient-dev (which doesn't exist for Redhat; again, I believe mysql-devel is the appropriate package).

Any advice for someone using redhat?

you have the correct package "mysql-devel-5.1.48-1" but the gem installs fine on my centos5 box without the package installed, you could try the ruby-mysql gem instead.
