It looks like you are probably missing something needed to compile the mysql2 gem’s C extension. Try installing the following packages:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libmysqlclient-dev

Hi wavrin, asb, thanks for your answer. However, I still have the same error after running your commands.
would appreciate if anyone can give suggestion on how to setup mysql2 on Ubuntu 14.04. It is a new droplet that i just created yesterday.
I guess you can reproduce this by creating a new temporary droplet Ubuntu 14.04 with ruby and rails
Might be worth upgrading ruby to 2.1.2, I heard it’s a bit more stable. Is there no more output?
Also with checking if you have make: apt-get install make
