Ruby On Rails: Error Message When Trying To Start WEBrick

I'm a TOTAL NEWBIE trying to learn Rails from a Lynda.com Ruby on Rails tutorial. I've got Rails 3.0 installed and Ruby Germs 1.8. Up to this point in the tutorial, I have created a Rails project and we are just about to access it. The tutor says that I should be able to type

rails server

in the terminal on a mac to boot up WEBrick which comes installed with Rails.

However, when I do it, I got the error message below (which I can't make sense of). **Do you know what I can do to get WEBrick working?

Note: I have mysql installed locally (/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql) and it is running. I also have MAMP installed but it is not running (I only use it for PHP applications). I would also like to use mysql and WEBrick so that I can work along with the tutorial, but if there's an alternative solution that you can think of please also let me know...

UPDATE I tried a reinstall of mysql2 like this

sudo gem install mysql2 — –with-mysql-configs=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config

error message

I had the same problem and the comments above doesn't relate to your mistake. What the video didn't make you do was cd back to simple_cms. You were trying to execute the rails server command in the Sites folder (thats where the video leaves you) which is impossible. Make sure you cd back to simple_cms and do rails server.

try this out:

cd /Applications/MAMP/Library/lib/mysql/
ln -s  ibmysqlclient.la ibmysqlclient.a
ln -s libmysqlclient_r.la libmysqlclient_r.a
ln -s libndbclient.la libndbclient.a

sudo gem install mysql2 — –with-mysql-configs=/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql_config
