I posted this on Ruby T. but then I realized I probably should of  
posted it here instead…

I receive this error when running a rake command:

$ rake db:migrate  
(in /Users/jeremy/rails/depot)  
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

I’m working with the book “Agile Web D. with Rails” and even  
though it discusses many possible errors, none of them relate to this  
one. Also, my database.yml file seems to be correct so I don’t think  
that’s the problem.

Well I discovered the diagnoses but not the cure. My “libmysqlclient.  
15.dylib” file is located in “/usr/local/mysql/lib” instead of “/usr/  
local/mysql/lib/mysql”. I opened up the “mysql.bundle” file in vi but  
it was complete chaos. I could see where to make the change but it  
didn’t look safe to edit the file. What do I do?
