Answer 1

Updated MySQL again from installer (say, mysql-5.5.10-osx10.6-x86_64 ).

Then MySQL2 gem: $ sudo gem install mysql2 -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql-5.5.10-osx10.6-x86_64/bin/mysql_config

It worked for me.

Answer 2

may be this post is similiar with your problem: Library not loaded: libmysqlclient.16.dylib error when trying to run 'rails server' on OS X 10.6 with mysql2 gem

Answer 3

Try this:

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/mysql/lib/"

Put this in your.profile (or.bashrc) and type this command

my_term> source.profile

replace '/usr/local/mysql/lib/' by where you MySQL client is installed

Answer 4

I also had this problem and any suggestions I found here or in other questions didn't get me anywhere, but running as root did (with sudo rails s ). I guess that when running as root, it uses the right path to the mysql library, but changing it with install_name_tool as described in one of the links here doesn't work, too. As long as I don't find the issue, I need to start my rails app with sudo.

Answer 5

For permanent fix, try to create a soft link by command -

sudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.16.dylib /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.16.dylib
