If you want something a little less intrusive, just set the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable in your MySQL's lib direction.

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MYSQL_HOME/lib

Answer 3

I had similar problems. The solutio that worked for me was found here.

Answer 4

Just ran into this problem myself. Make sure you update the version numbers.

sudo install_name_tool -change libmysqlclient.18.dylib /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql2-0.2.7/lib/mysql2/mysql2.bundle

Answer 5

For some reason the mysql2.bundle file was not in my mysql2 gem. I ran

 gem uninstall mysql2

and the gem was uninstalled. Then I immediately ran

sudo gem install mysql2

Then

sudo install_name_tool -change libmysqlclient.16.dylib /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.16.dylib /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql2-0.2.6/lib/mysql2/mysql2.bundle

Finally rails s launched the server!

Try running this (see similar question here)

sudo install_name_tool -change libmysqlclient.16.dylib /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.16.dylib /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql2-0.2.6/lib/mysql2/mysql2.bundle
