When I install mysql2 by gem, I encounter some puzzles. I have been beset for 2 days. I've tried all this command:

gem install mysql2 -v '0.5.1' --source 'https://gems.ruby-china.com/'  -- --with-mysql-lib="/usr/lib/mysql"
gem install mysql2 -v '0.5.1' --source 'https://gems.ruby-china.com/'  -- --with-mysql-lib="/usr/lib64/mysql"
gem install mysql2 -v '0.5.1' --source 'https://gems.ruby-china.com/'

But all of those return me with the same error which shows below :

Building native extensions with: '--with-mysql-lib=/usr/lib/mysql'
This could take a while...

You are missing mysqlclient.

Try following the steps here: Ruby gem mysql2 install failing

On OSX, try brew install mysql-connector-c

Worst case you may need to uninstall mysql and reinstall it: https://github.com/brianmario/mysql2/issues/687#issuecomment-144811470

    After a lot of trials, I found that the default repository of my centos include the mariadb vision instead of mysql-comminity-client,so the lib of it was not compatible with mysql2's requirement. So first I unistalled all of my packages about mysql .And then I added the mysql community repository to my centos repository list.After install this version mysql-client , I installed mysql2 ruby packages successfully! – user10097040 Jul 23 '18 at 05:52
