Problem

Installing mysql2 gem errors on Apple silicon M1, M2 or M3 Mac running macOS Sonoma.

Solution

Make sure mysql-client, openssl and zstd are installed on Mac via Homebrew.

Replace mysql-client with whichever mysql package you are using

brew install mysql-client openssl zstd

Install mysql2 gem.

Replace 0.5.2 with whichever version you are using

 gem install mysql2 -v '0.5.2' -- --with-mysql-lib=$(brew --prefix mysql-client)/lib --with-mysql-dir=$(brew --prefix mysql-client) --with-mysql-config=$(brew --prefix mysql-client)/bin/mysql_config --with-mysql-include=$(brew --prefix mysql-client)/include --with-ldflags="-L$(brew --prefix zstd)/lib -L$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib -L$(brew --prefix zlib)/lib" --with-cppflags="-I$(brew --prefix openssl)/include -I$(brew --prefix zlib)/include"
