    Do you have ruby dev environment installed? sudo apt-get install ruby-dev Commented May 15, 2016 at 16:44

While this code may answer the question, providing additional context regarding how and/or why it solves the problem would improve the answer's long-term value.
This way is installing the "ruby-mysql2" OS package which might result in installing wrong or too old versions (depends on the OS)
