I am not able to install the latest version of mysql2 gem for my rails application. I have already tried out the options suggested in this answer. However the older version installed without any errors! gem uninstall mysql2 gem install mysql2 -v 0.2.6
Following is the error that pops up whenever I try to install the latest version of mysql2 gem
C:\Users\EcoAd>gem install mysql2 -v '0.3.16' -- '--with-mysql-lib="C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\lib" --with-mysql-include="C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\include"'

This could take a while...
