Rails Server Not Starting In OSX 10.73 - mysql

Installed Rails 3.2.3 and MySQL 5.6 fine on my OSX 10.7.3
I created a new project called "simple_cms" and then, in the terminal, tried to launch webrick with "rails server" and got nothing.

rails server command unable to find libraries

I've installed rails, the mysql2 gem, and mysql and have created a project called simple_cms using rails new simple_cms -d mysql. Now when I execute rails server to start WEBricks, I get this bucket of joy:

Unable to start rails server but my mysql version is different and that doesn't solve it even with changing 0.2.6 to 0.3.11
The issue is that Ruby can't find the libraries necessary to build the MySQL gem, there are many ways to fix this but since it looks like you're just starting up on Ruby, I think it's worth to prepare your environment so you don't see this kind of stuff again, here are the steps:
First I would recommend you to install Homebrew, with Homebrew installed, install MySQL:
brew install mysql
This will install MySQL in your machine including the necessary libraries to build the MySQL gem when you need it.
Then you should to install RVM to install your rubies (before installing RVM you need to run brew install git). Once you install RVM, you can start installing any rubies you would like to.
And then you ask, why can't you use the built in Ruby? Rails will drop support for the Ruby 1.8.* branch on 4.0 and the community in general uses RVM (or rbenv) to install and manage rubies installed to your machine.

may be this post is similiar with your problem :
Library not loaded: libmysqlclient.16.dylib error when trying to run 'rails server' on OS X 10.6 with mysql2 gem
Try this:
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/mysql/lib/"
Put this in your .profile (or .bashrc) and type this command
my_term> source .profile
replace '/usr/local/mysql/lib/' by where you MySQL client is installed
Updated MySQL again from installer (say, mysql-5.5.10-osx10.6-x86_64).
Then MySQL2 gem:
$ sudo gem install mysql2 --
--with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql-5.5.10-osx10.6-x86_64/bin/mysql_config
It worked for me.
For permanent fix, try to create a soft link by command -
sudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.16.dylib /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.16.dylib
http://rorguide.blogspot.com/2011/07/getting-error-library-not-loaded.html
I also had this problem and any suggestions I found here or in other questions didn't get me anywhere, but running as root did (with sudo rails s). I guess that when running as root, it uses the right path to the mysql library, but changing it with install_name_tool as described in one of the links here doesn't work, too. As long as I don't find the issue, I need to start my rails app with sudo.

I had previously installed the mysql2 gem using RVM. I know there is probably a simple fix but I'm new to this, so I appreciate your help.

Have you had a look at How to fix "dlopen(/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7/lib/mysql.bundle, 9): Library not loaded: /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.15.dylib"?
It looks like it could be a similar issue
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/mysql/lib/"
Dropped that in bash.profile and worked like a charm
I tried all of the above and none of it worked. I found this on another page Library not loaded: libmysqlclient.16.dylib error when trying to run 'rails server' on OS X 10.6 with mysql2 gem and it worked like a charm:

This is the solution but i am not able to understand, why mysql server was not starting..

Try the following, which seems to have worked for others:
From the Terminal, run locate mysql_config and identify the path to the mysql_config binary
Use that path in the following command to install the gem:sudo gem install mysql2 -- –with-mysql-config=/path/you/identified/above/mysql_config

I believe this is due to mysql2 not using the full path to libmysqlclient.16.dylib. Others have had luck with:
sudo install_name_tool -change libmysqlclient.16.dylib /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.16.dylib /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql2-0.2.6/lib/mysql2/mysql2.bundle
However, be sure to replace /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.16.dylib with the path to your own libmysqlclient.16.dylib. I'm not positive what it would be, but you may be able to find it with locate (if not, check around in the lib directory for /usr/local/mysql-5.5.9-osx10.6-x86_64).
download 64 bit from here and then try to install mysql2 gem
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
it will work..
Try installing mysql from macports
sudo ports install mysql5
It took ages to complete, but once done run
gem install mysql2
and everything should work just fine

Unable to start rails server

Try running this (see similar question here)
sudo install_name_tool -change libmysqlclient.16.dylib /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.16.dylib /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql2-0.2.6/lib/mysql2/mysql2.bundle
Just ran into this problem myself. Make sure you update the version numbers.
sudo install_name_tool -change libmysqlclient.18.dylib /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql2-0.2.7/lib/mysql2/mysql2.bundle
For some reason the mysql2.bundle file was not in my mysql2 gem. I ran
gem uninstall mysql2
and the gem was uninstalled. Then I immediately ran
sudo gem install mysql2
Then
sudo install_name_tool -change libmysqlclient.16.dylib /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.16.dylib /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql2-0.2.6/lib/mysql2/mysql2.bundle
Finally rails s launched the server!
I had similar problems. The solutio that worked for me was found here.
If you want something a little less intrusive, just set the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable in your MySQL's lib direction.
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MYSQL_HOME/lib
I was just hit with this using Rails 3.1.0, ruby-1.9.2-p290 and mysql2 0.3.7. My solution was to downgrade to mysql 2.8.1. Everything looks good so far (I wasn't even able to start the environment).
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient15-dev libmysqlclient15off libmysql-ruby
