Ruby on Rails, MySQL, & Mac OS X Snow Leopard
I’ve had several people ask me about getting these three to play nice together… this is how I did it.
Older versions used a 32 bit version of MySQL. For this to work you need to get the 64 bit x86 version of MySQL installed. The easiest way to do this is to use the official MySQL install named Mac OS X 10.5 (x86_64) (yes Snow Leopard is 10.6, but this one works).
There is a great set of instructions at Hive Logic… follow those and everything should be jake.
