MySQL libs are installed by default to /usr/lib/mysql, extconf.rb tries to find them in /usr/local/lib/mysql. So it's clear that without any my attemps you can't install this lib by a simple command emerge mysql-ruby. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge mysql 2. emerge mysql-ruby Actual Results: "emerge mysql-ruby" gives a compile error. Expected Results: "emerge mysql-ruby" should search libs in /usr/lib/mysql and should be installed without any errors. # ls -la /usr/local/lib/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 18 Jan 6 13:14 . drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 131 May 6 2010 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 17 2009 .keep # ls -la /usr/lib/mysql/ total 6632 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 1 17:07 . drwxr-xr-x 48 root root 28672 Jan 3 00:54 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2034 Dec 1 17:06 libdbug.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 896 Dec 1 17:06 libdbug.la -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 134404 Dec 1 17:06 libheap.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 896 Dec 1 17:06 libheap.la -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 570912 Dec 1 17:06 libmyisam.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 902 Dec 1 17:06 libmyisam.la -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 116168 Dec 1 17:06 libmyisammrg.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 911 Dec 1 17:06 libmyisammrg.la -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1919182 Dec 1 17:06 libmysqlclient.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 924 Dec 1 17:06 libmysqlclient.la -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1937382 Dec 1 17:06 libmysqlclient_r.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 940 Dec 1 17:06 libmysqlclient_r.la -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1532526 Dec 1 17:06 libmystrings.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 911 Dec 1 17:06 libmystrings.la -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 460326 Dec 1 17:06 libmysys.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 895 Dec 1 17:06 libmysys.la -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10796 Dec 1 17:06 libvio.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 893 Dec 1 17:06 libvio.la drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 6 Apr 27 2010 plugin # emerge mysql-ruby >>> Verifying ebuild manifests >>> Emerging (1 of 1) dev-ruby/mysql-ruby-2.8.1-r1 * mysql-ruby-2.8.1.tar.gz RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ...

What I thought. You have USE=static enabled. You'll need to disable that in order to get dynamic libraries. The dependency on mysql-ruby will be changed to force -static.
Isn't this the problem mentioned at the end of bug 348788?
This is fixed in CSV in mysql-ruby 2.8.2.
