I’ve tried a million different tutorials and I just can’t figure this
out. I have all things needed to create the development environment
and I just can’t get the server to function correctly I suppose.
Here’s the error I am getting:
“The bundled mysql.rb driver has been removed from Rails 2.2. Please
install the mysql gem and try again: gem install mysql.
/!\ FAILSAFE /!\ Sun Apr 05 00:17:39 -0700 2009
Status: 500 Internal Server E rror
dlsym(0x1c44680, Init_mysql): symbol not found - /usr/local/lib/ruby/
gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7/lib/mysql.bundle”
And then when I got to localhost:3000 and click on the “About your
application’s environment”, I get a red box that says “We’re sorry,
but something went wrong.We’ve been notified about this issue and
we’ll take a look at it shortly” that drops down.
I can’t find a solution anywhere.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help! I’ve spent hours and I
can’t find anything.
Thank You!

Really hard to be helpful if we don’t know what you’ve tried 
(Other than to say that your mysql gem is screwed)

I mean I’ve tried re installing. I’ve tried installing with MacPorts.
I just keep getting the same error no matter what. Do you know of any
sites that can just walk me through step by step on how to get this
working in Leopard besides the Hivelogic article. That doesn’t work
for me. I’m kinda new at Rails so I dunno how I can be more specific.

Well to me, specific means (for example) exactly how you installed the
mysql gem, how you installed mysql etc.

Assuming your only issue is MySQL Support on OS X Leopard, did you
happen to note this blog?
http://blog.flinter.com/2009/01/16/installing-rails-22-on-osx-leopard/
I assume when you first got your Leopard install it was pre-Rails
2.0? I followed these instructions and simply installed MySQL for OS
X from the MYSQL install directions and had no issues:
http://developer.apple.com/tools/developonrailsleopard.html
When I moved from 2.0 to 2.1.1 I followed a similar set of steps - I
googled first for any hazards - the one I found was fixed by me
installing another gem based on error logs. Though I did not upgrade
MySQL yet and I don’t use it in my dev environment much - yet.
The one problem I saw with 2.2 was having to upgrade Ruby to 1.9 - I
think that is required.
If you are handy with XCode you can always roll your own - Hive Logic
probably has build it yourself directions for everything you’d need:
Hope this helps.

Rails 2.2 doesn’t support ruby 1.9 (rails 2.3.2 is the first version
with ruby 1.9 support, but that ruby 1.9 is by no means compulsory)

When I installed here, making rails work with mysql was painful too…
I tryed to install and re-install both the gem and mysql for about
9000 times, using several different giant terminal commands
Could only make it work after installing a 32-bit version of mysql and
downloading the gem using macports, which gave an error in the
installation, but actually worked when I tested.
I have all the latest gems, rails, and ruby installed. I keep getting
the same error, even when the re route of the mysql library. I don’t
know what else to do.
Maybe an uninstall, clean install, and fix might work?

I had this issue, and to start with, I followed various blogs to set
the location of the mysql libraries etc… However, when I did it
yesterday, I simply installed the 32 BIT mysql package directly from
the mysql web site (64 bit wont work apparently). Then I did ‘sudo
gem install mysql’ - and to my amazement, everything worked.
I do wish the rails guys had made this a little less painful though -
I bet it puts off some newbies from even venturing into rails.
Hope this helps

Yes, you must use the 32 bit MySQL as far as I know. The Ruby, at least
the one installed on Mac OS X 10.5 is 32 bit and need MySQL to be the
same.

Yes this is a bit of a pain, but if you follow all the correct
instructions, and don’t follow the blogs blindly, then it’s really not
that bad getting MySQL working with Leopard.
Basically (1) make sure you compile the gem for the correct platform
(Universal binary builds don’t work, which is what gcc uses by default
on Leopard) (2) Fix the dylib issue (this is where a lot of the blogs
are wrong (make sure the all the paths they show match your actual
system). (3) Make sure you’ve installed the 32 bit MySQL regardless of
your system architecture.
As far as Rails itself. I use what was pre-installed. I just updated it
to the latest version of RubyGems and Rails and I use it all with great
success. No macports, which I personally hate, I won’t get into why. I
did not install my own Ruby, the pre-installed version works fine for
me.
I have found this site to be consistently useful
http://newwiki.rubyonrails.org/database-support/mysql
I used this command:
$ sudo env ARCHFLAGS=“-arch i386” gem install mysql –
–with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql --with-mysql-lib=/usr/local/mysql/
lib
–with-mysql-include=/usr/local/mysql/include
This was on several different installs of Leopard. Both new Leopard
installs, and version of Leopard that had been upgraded from
functioning older versions of rails.
I had one issue, where the installed version of mysql was too old, but
that was fixed after I upgraded to the current version.
I am using an older mysql install. I prefer 5.0 over 5.1 right now.
5.0.77 is the current version I am installing.

Did you run this on your Mac:
“gem update —system”
If so, you might have bricked your install from the get-go.
What I did was I re-installed the OS (not a big deal for me at the
time) and just ran “gem update”
No problems from then on out.
What are the “latest” gems/rails and ruby that you have installed?
here is some information that would be useful to use:
$ port list | grep mysql
$ mysql5 --version
$ port list | grep lang/ruby
$ gem list
$ ruby -v
