Comment on Compiling the MySQL2 gem on OS X with any version of MAMP by Manuel Fittko

I just found out that installing mysql via (home)brew and using MAMP’s my-large.cnf file as global mysql config file by placing it in /etc/ as my.cnf does the job, too…

1. brew install mysql
2. sudo cp /Applications/MAMP/Library/support-files/my-large.cnf /etc/my.cnf
3. sudo gem install mysql2 –version=0.2.7 — –with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql
( I also specified the socket in the database.yml like Paul did)

And don’t ask me why you should install both MAMP and standard mysql, it was the only way to go for me, since nothing else worked.

This is a lifesaver; however, I discovered I had mismatch problems that surfaced when trying to use pg_dump, so I found the following pattern useful for tracking down binaries manually:

ls -1 `which pg_dump | xargs dirname`/pg*

In my case I still had pg_config, pg_dump, pg_dumpall, pg_restore, and pg_upgrade left behind in /usr/bin, probably due to some tinkering before stumbling onto your shell script.

Nothing happened when I did this, I just ran brew install postgres (MacBook Air 2011) and ran the 3 commands on the post install info to automatically start the server.

Accidentally ran the script twice and I think it has wiped the system Postgres installation. Does anyone know if I should consider reinstalling Lion? Thanks.
