Mysql problem when bundling

Problem encountered:

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.

Solution:

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient15-dev

Then bundle install again and it should work.! :)
