gem install mysql ***extconf.rb failed***

I've installed rails (and it works) and now I want to be able to connect to a mysql database.

The database.yml file tells me to install the mysql drivers by typing:

gem install mysql

This is the error I receive:

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.


Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
