Go to your project and follow the steps,

rvm gemset empty <gemset name>
gem install bundler
bundle install

It will solve your problem.

If that does not work, or if you are not using rvm, please use

gem uninstall mysql2
bundle install

from one of your mysql2-using Rails project's directory.

Well, I would suggest double checking the ruby and the rails version and make sure they are the same ones u created your project with. Maybe you have to change the version using rvm:

  • rvm use 'Version'

Maybe you can uninstall and reinstall the mysql packages again, also try installing:

  • sudo apt-get install mysql-client mysql-server libmysqlclient16-dev

or

  • sudo apt-get install mysql-client mysql-server libmysqlclient-dev

Also try uninstalling and reinstalling your mysql gem. This blog post had a solution for this error as well, although the error was cause at a different time.

I followed Babak's instruction that he posted and it worked after a small change.

My system is Ubuntu 12.04 server and it has Ruby1.9.3 installed so I did this

sudo apt-get install mysql-server libmysqlclient-dev

Seems like the libmysqlclient16-dev is now renamed to libmysqlclient-dev in Ubuntu 12.04

Afterwards I ran

gem install mysql2
