SO-spam-filtered-full-question.txt

I'm trying to set up my local Dev Environment to match my team's.  I can't upgrade Ruby/Rails/Mysql2 (for the time being).

I know my local mysql config is good (enough?) because I can create a new Rails project and run it just fine.  I'm getting the same error if I run `rake db:create` or `rails s` or even start IRB and run `require 'mysql2'`.

I've googled the hell out of this.  I was initially using MariaDB as my Mysql implementation locally.  So I thought that might be screwing with the mysql2 gem.  So I ripped out MariaDB and finally got Mysql 5.6 working (another team version we're locked into at the moment).  After successfully upgrading to Mysql 5.6, I'm confident that's 100% not the issue.

I would expect if I had the wrong password for it to complain about the config somehow.  But it's always the same.

`uninitialized constant Mysql2::Client::SECURE_CONNECTION`

Ruby (RVM): `ruby 1.9.3p551 (2014-11-13 revision 48407) [x86_64-linux]`
Mysql2: `0.3.16`

There have been some other version-related struggles, but nothing this strong.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  The only thing I've encountered that I haven't actually tried is building the mysql2 gem locally.

One random thing I can't really imagine affecting this is that I'm running Ubuntu 16 and my teammate is running OSX (but he said on the phone yesterday that he's run this project on Ubuntu 16 before (plus our production servers are Ubuntu)).

Here's the output of `rake db:create`:
```

I would expect `require 'mysql2'` to at least load the gem.  Rails nor Rake will work with the gem at all.  It's almost like it's missing some internal file.

I know there's a lot of "old" stuff in here, but that's kind of the reason I was brought into the team.  Any tips you can offer by way of upgrading methodologies are welcome too.
