Problem

Installing mysql2 gem errors on MacOS Catalina with MySQL 5.7.

Solution

Make sure openssl is installed on Mac via Homebrew.

brew install openssl

Install mysql2 gem.

gem install mysql2 -v '0.5.3' -- --with-mysql-config=$(brew --prefix mysql@5.7)/bin/mysql_config --with-ldflags=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib --with-cppflags=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include

I've tried your different git for Mojave and worked for me:
gem install mysql2 -v '0.5.2' -- --with-ldflags=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib --with-cppflags=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include

worked for me as well . been searching the internet for over 4 hours. MacOs Big Sur 11.2
