Has anyone else had problems with the mysql native gem when using  
MySQL 5.0.41. It appears that this version of MySQL has moved some  
depended library files. I rolled back to MySQL 5.0.37 and all seems  
to be working now. But, just wanted to know if anyone else has  
experienced this issue.

As the maintainer of the Windows native driver at  
[http://www.vandomburg.net](http://www.vandomburg.net), I’ve heard similar reports. I haven’t gotten  
to compiling a newer version yet but will do so in the coming week.

I’m seeing an extra, non-existent, directory called for in the path  
to this library:  
libmysqlclient.15.dylib

The error was encountered while doing a script/generate:

dyld: NSLinkModule() error  
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.  
15.dylib  
Referenced from: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7/lib/  
mysql.bundle  
Reason: image not found  
Trace/BPT trap

The actual location of the library is:

/usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.15.dylib

It would be a little unnecessary to have …/mysql/lib/mysql/… I  
would think.

For now I’m going to try a symlink…
