OS Ubuntu 12.04. I`ve cloned rails4.0.0beta1 from https://github.com/rails/rails.git. I have ruby 2.0.0p0 (2013-02-24 revision 39474), when I am trying to do "bundle install" i have the following error message:

Gem files will remain installed in /home/zergood/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p0/gems/mysql-2.9.1 for inspection.
Results logged to /home/zergood/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p0/gems/mysql-2.9.1/ext/mysql_api/gem_make.out

An error occurred while installing mysql (2.9.1), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install mysql -v '2.9.1'` succeeds before bundling.

How can I solve it?

So, try something like 

sudo apt-get install libmysql-ruby libmysqlclient-dev mysql-server \
mysql-client mysql-common

and then 

gem install mysql

I had a very similar issue - installing Mysql 2.9.1 error with ruby 2.0 but on Mac 10.9.2

The solution was found here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4115182/775359

brew install mysql

You need the MySQL development headers for mysql2 to properly compile. This is needed, because much of the functionality is written in C and subsequently linked against MySQL.

just a minor correction: libmysql-ruby is phase out, so use ruby-mysql instead --> https://askubuntu.com/questions/641943/e-unable-to-locate-package-libmysql-ruby

full command is thus:

sudo apt-get install ruby-mysql libmysqlclient-dev mysql-server \ mysql-client mysql-common

and then

gem install mysql
