 Hey guys, [[br]]
 I have been trying to install MYSQL but eveytime i do that it give me
 these errors

 {{{
 $ port install mysql
 Error: Insufficient privileges to write to MacPorts install prefix.
 }}}

 i also tried -- `gem install mysql2` it give me a response saying
 {{{
 $ gem install mysql2
 ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES)
     Permission denied -
 /Users/ad/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/gems/mysql2-0.3.11/.gitignore
 }}}

 Any help is highly appreciated

Comment:

 To make modifications to files in /opt/local, MacPorts must be run as
 root, which is usually done using sudo:

 {{{
 sudo port install mysql5
 }}}

 I have no familiarity with ruby so I cannot help you install gems.
