Install Native MySQL Gem – Edge Rails Stopped Including It
I decided to try out the latest edge Rails and I started getting this error:
!!! The bundled mysql.rb driver has been removed from Rails 2.2. Please install the mysql gem and try again: gem install mysql.

dlopen(/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7/lib/mysql.bundle, 9): Library not loaded: /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.15.dylib
Referenced from: /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7/lib/mysql.bundle
Reason: image not found - /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7/lib/mysql.bundle
At first I tried:
sudo gem install mysql
which of course didn't work because it never works. You have to tell the complier where to find stuff. Do this:
sudo gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
