I have installed mysql2 in mac m1 using the below command
gem uninstall mysql2
gem install mysql2 -v '0.3.21' -- --srcdir=/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/8.0.28_1/bin/include --with-mysql-include=/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/8.0.28_1/include/mysql --with-mysql-lib=/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/8.0.28_1/lib --with-cppflags=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.0/include --with-opt-dir=/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.0 --platform=ruby
Installation works but when I starts rails s , I get the below error
/gems/mysql2-0.3.21/lib/mysql2.rb:31:in `require': cannot load such file -- mysql2/mysql2 (LoadError)
I am using Rails 3.2.22.5 and ruby 2.3.0p0 (2015-12-25 revision 53290) [x86_64-darwin21]
I downgraded the openssl to 1.0 to install ruby 2.3.0 using rosetta
I already installed mysql8 using brew install mysql .
Above is working in my another project which is running on Rails 4.2 and Ruby 2.3.1 but dont know why its not working here.
I also tried to downgrade mysql8 to 5.7 and then install mysql2 using the below
gem install mysql2 -v 0.3.21 -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/Cellar/mysql@5.7/5.7.37/bin/mysql_config --srcdir=/usr/local/Cellar/mysql@5.7/5.7.37/bin/include --with-ldflags=-L/usr/local/opt/mysql@5.7/lib --with-cppflags=-I/usr/local/opt/mysql@5.7/include --platform=ruby
But same error, installation complete but getting load error in rails s
Any help to fix this error will be appreciated.
I am able to solve this issue by downgrading mysql to 5.7 and then installing mysql-client@5.7
Below are the steps:
#stop mysql
brew services stop mysql
# install mysql5.7
brew install mysql@5.7
#Link mysql5.7
brew unlink mysql
brew link mysql@5.7 --force
# install mysqlclient
brew install mysql-client@5.7
#uninstall old mysql versions if already installed
gem uninstall mysql2
#install mysql2
gem install mysql2 -v 0.3.21 -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/bin/mysql_config --with-ldflags=-L/usr/local/Cellar/openssl@1.0/1.0.2u/lib --with-cppflags=-I/usr/local/Cellar/openssl@1.0/1.0.2u/include
