El Capitan upgrade: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib

mysql ruby macos osx-elcapitan ruby-on-rails-4.2

I was getting the same issue earlier on, I fixed it by reinstalling the gem mysql2.

mysql ruby macos osx-elcapitan ruby-on-rails-4.2

this will solve your problem:

gem pristine mysql2

solution by Cesar Sulbarán

mysql ruby macos osx-elcapitan ruby-on-rails-4.2

For those on OS X El Capitain or more, this fix my problem:

sudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib /usr/local/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib
