Did it fail to install? Compile time errors are not uncommon - some of them are not a problem (depends upon the package being compiled) and some of them are absolutely fatal. Also - important to note when using ruby on rails... # cat /etc/my.cnf [mysqld] datadir=/var/lib/mysql socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock # Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x # clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package). old_passwords=0 [mysql.server] user=mysql basedir=/var/lib [mysqld_safe] err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid NOTE line... old_passwords=0 I think by default, this is set to '1' which means true which I think is a problem with ruby on rails (i.e., unless set to '0' and mysql is restarted 'service mysqld restart', you will have trouble connecting rubyonrails to mysql) Craig
