Mysql2 gem + Mavericks + Rails

Question

I am having hell with this after I upgraded a machine to Mavericks and I am just not able to get rails running again. I have tried reinstalling mysql via brew, I have reinstalled MAMP, I have reinstalled the mysql2 gem. All in vain. I also tried creating soft links as mentioned in Unable to start server in rails with mysql db This is my error:

I looked at the answer here Unable to start server in rails with mysql db and when I ran the command, nothing changed, now it tells me that the file already exists.

$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib
ln: /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib: File exists

I am so frustrated with this. Please help!

Answer 1

I reinstalled EVERYTHING. Node, rvm, ruby, all gems. And it worked.
