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.

Gem files will remain installed in /Users/albert/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-head@kyrgyz-tours/gems/mysql2-0.3.13 for inspection.
Results logged to /Users/albert/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-head@kyrgyz-tours/gems/mysql2-0.3.13/ext/mysql2/gem_make.out

An error occurred while installing mysql2 (0.3.13), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install mysql2 -v '0.3.13'` succeeds before bundling.

Thank you all! Gem mysql2 installed :)

Your error seems like that you do not have mysql installed in your system please install mysql-server, mysql-client and the necessary libraries eg: libmysql-dev...........

 -----
 mysql.h is missing.  please check your installation of mysql and try again.

you can follow http://ariejan.net/2007/12/12/how-to-install-mysql-on-ubuntudebian/

if Mac os http://www.randomactsofsentience.com/2013/05/gem-install-mysql2-missing-mysqlh-on-os.html

also

Using a package manager like Homebrew or MacPorts makes it fairly straight-forward to fix this. The binary distribution of MySQL direct from Oracle and the one bundled with OS X itself does not have the development headers, of which mysql.h is one of them.

and 

brew install mysql
