Based on the exact phrasing of your question, you actually are not having trouble installing the mysql gem; see "Successfully installed mysql-2.8.1" from your output.  The actual gem part (providing the ruby library necessary to connect to a mysql database) should have installed just fine.  I'm not familiar with where Ruby and its libraries are installed, but in the gems directory, you should find "mysql-2.8.1" present.  If you want more proof, try the following simple script.  (Replace with your database particulars.)

The errors are from building the RDoc and RI pages.  It would appear that some RDoc and RI pages are still built.  For example, 'ri Mysql' returns something.  I do not see any reported bugs about all the "No definition" pages.  So unless you are really curious about why they are happening, I would just ignore them and continue with your work (unless you can better describe why you feel the mysql gem is not installed correctly).


require 'rubygems'
require 'mysql' 
dbh = Mysql.real_connect("localhost", "root", "", "test")
puts "The server version is: " + dbh.get_server_info

OK, here's the story. I'm trying to install mephisto. I've followed instructions and I used to have rails 2.1 environment. I had to re-install the entire Ruby environment to get it to 2.2 because I couldn't do a gem update --system

See the attached code. After I run rake db:bootstrap, heaps of errors come up. Not sure why.

If you look in 'vendor/gems' in the mephisto root directory, you will see liquid 1.9.0 is installed there.  Thus, the attempt to load liquid from the ruby gems directory conflicts with the mephisto app gem already loaded.  

The "best" solution would be to uninstall liquid-2.0.0, and stick with liquid-1.9.0.  There may be incompatibilities which will just cause more problems down the line.  However, if there are reasons which make you feel it's worth the risk, again the quick solution would be to remove (or move) the liquid-1.9.0 directory.  (There is likely some means to upgrade the version of liquid locally, but I don't have that process right now.)
