Installing the MySQL gem on Leopard was much more painful than I thought. I had the 64-bit version of MySQL already installed. So I had to uninstall MySQL on Leopard, which was a challenge all on its own. Here is what I did (after stopping MySQL, and backing up my databases first, of course):

sudo rm /usr/local/mysql
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/mysql*
sudo rm -rf /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM
sudo rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/My*
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/mysql*
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/MySQL*
vi /etc/hostconfig # remove the line MYSQLCOM=-YES-

Then I had to install the 32-bit version of MySQL for Mac OS X. After that is installed, I had to use the following to get the gem to compile:

sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" gem install mysql -- \
--with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql --with-mysql-lib=/usr/local/mysql/lib \
--with-mysql-include=/usr/local/mysql/include

One of the most traumatic experiences we had to revisit with the birth of our child was to pick a doctor, a pediatrician, for him and a OB/GYN for my wife. For myself, it [...]

The baby industry thrives on the ‘guilt syndrome’ Making parents feel guilty if they don’t buy top of the line stuff for them. The other thing its amazingly cashed in on is the organic craze. I never bought into this organic phenomenon really. And now while shopping for baby stuff, its amazing what [...]

I have always been interested in typing in Indian languages on computers, but wanted it to be as easy as typing the equivalent in English and have it transliterate dynamically. Alas, due to the complexity of indian languages and the variation in how people type the equivalent in english, it is hard for that method [...]
