since two days I'm facing a problem I can't solve. I'm trying to install redmine on a debian machine. When it comes to installation for the gem mysql it fails. I don't know what to do anymore. My last instance is your help.
Error
root@host:~# gem1.8 install mysql Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing mysql: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. /usr/bin/ruby1.8 extconf.rb checking for mysql_ssl_set()... no checking for rb_str_set_len()... no checking for rb_thread_start_timer()... no checking for mysql.h... no checking for mysql/mysql.h... no *** extconf.rb failed *** Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers.

What I've tried
- Installing packages by instruction: http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/database-support/mysql#linux_ubuntu
- installing with mysql_config parameter
root@host:~# find / -name mysql_config
/usr/bin/mysql_config
root@host:~# gem1.8 install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/bin/mysql_config
