When doing db:migrate I got this error  
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

Any help on fixing it?

Thanks  
Blake

I’ve not seen this particular problem but if people don’t respond  
please don’t take it as a slight. Just try resubmitting with a more  
descriptive subject line. Most people scan the list for things that  
they know specifically. Something like “rake migrate NSLinkModule  
error” or something would help the right people find you. 🙂

Also, if you aren’t using the mysql gem that might be the issue. Just  
a guess though.

Hope you find your solution quickly!

I think I’m going to go ahead and reinstall MYSQL and see if that  
fixes it.

Thanks
