And two years after taking the easy way out, Snow Leopard finally adds 64-bit libraries and Ruby stuff to make the x86_64 architecture viable. Witness:

bimota:~ root# file /usr/bin/ruby
/usr/bin/ruby: Mach-O universal binary with 3 architectures
/usr/bin/ruby (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
/usr/bin/ruby (for architecture i386): Mach-O executable i386
/usr/bin/ruby (for architecture ppc7400): Mach-O executable ppc

So now we can install the x86_64 binary from MySQL and move on.

OK I spoke too soon. That did NOT work.

Seriously, I have a REAL solution that actually works though it’s a pain in the ass. You install MySQL 32-bit and then build and link the gem against that and then binary hack the resulting mysql.bundle to use the correct location for the 32-bit libs.

This worked for me:

sudo env ARCHFLAGS=”-arch i386? gem install mysql — –with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config

I’m on Leopard 10.5.5 and the latest MySql 64-bit version for Leopard available form mysql.com

Actually, on more thought I reckon extconf.rb bit wasn’t necessary, but what the hey, it got the result.

Like synth suggested I did (using the bog standard leopard 10.5.3 install of ruby (NOT a new compiled version) and the 10.5 mysql x86_64 package installed mysql database):

ARCHFLAGS=”-Os -arch x86_64 -fno-common” gem install mysql — –with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config

then did ‘cd /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql-*/

Followed by

ARCHFLAGS=”-Os -arch x86_64 -fno-common” ruby extconf.rb –with-mysql-include=/usr/local/mysql/include –with-
mysql-lib=/usr/local/mysql/lib –with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql —
with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config

Don’t know if this extconf bit was necessary, but I did it anyway.
Followed by ’sudo make’
Followed by ’sudo make install’

Rails then worked
by doing ‘rails -d mysql [project name]’ (back in my user directory)
Was a slight quirk with the socket location, remedied by adding
‘Socket: /var/mysql/mysql.sock’ in database.yml under development, test and production.
