急いでいる人のために、先に解決方法を書いておくと
$ sudo yum install mysql-devel
をしてから
$ gem install mysql2
をすれば良い。
EC2でAmazon Linuxを借りて、
gem install mysql2
をしたら、以下の様に怒られたので対処法を書いておく。
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing mysql2:

libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more details. You may
need configuration options.

Gem files will remain installed in /home/ec2-user/.rbenv/versions/2.1.2/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/mysql2-0.3.16 for inspection.
Results logged to /home/ec2-user/.rbenv/versions/2.1.2/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/extensions/x86_64-linux/2.1.0-static/mysql2-0.3.16/gem_make.out
原因はmysql.h
がないことらしいので、
$ sudo yum install mysql-devel
とすれば良かった。
その後に、もう一度
$ gem install mysql2
をすれば成功する。
