Here is the log from my bundle install

Fetching mysql2 0.5.2 Installing mysql2 0.5.2 with native extensions Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. ... ... ...

Make sure that `gem install mysql2 -v '0.5.2' --source 'https://rubygems.org/'` succeeds before bundling.

So I do what it says, and run sudo gem install mysql2 -v '0.5.2' --source

$ sudo gem install mysql2 -v '0.5.2' --source 'https://rubygems.org/' Building native extensions. This could take a while... Successfully installed mysql2-0.5.2 Parsing documentation for mysql2-0.5.2 Done installing documentation for mysql2 after 0 seconds 1 gem installed

And it installs fine! But when I run bundle install again, I get the same error. I've tried uninstalling, unlinking, and reinstalling mysql in brew.

What can I try next??

Installation on M1 macs

This method helped me on ruby v2.7.2 and macOS Big Sur 11.4.

Install dependencies

brew install mysql zstd openssl

Install the gem

gem install mysql2 -- --with-ldflags="-L $(brew --cellar zstd)/1.5.0/lib -L $(brew --prefix openssl)/lib" --with-ldlibs="-lzstd -lssl" --with-cppflags="-I $(brew --prefix openssl)/include"

As an alternative, you can modify bundler config:

bundle config --local build.mysql2 --with-ldflags="-L $(brew --cellar zstd)/1.5.0/lib -L $(brew --prefix openssl)/lib" --with-ldlibs="-lzstd -lssl" --with-cppflags="-I $(brew --prefix openssl)/include"

and run bundle install.

I don't have an M1 mac, but this worked for me!

Run these commands first:

bundle config --local build.mysql2 "--with-cppflags=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include --with-ldflags=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"

Then run bundle install it works.

Running both of these commands separately just overwrites the first one. You need to put both of these install options into a single string on the first command.
This may depend on the bundler version, but when I put both in a single string it passes the entire string as a single parameter which then gets silently ignored when building. The thing that worked for me is to just set bundle config --local build.mysql2 --with-ldflags=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib

Use build options with bundler.

Try running this in your application directory:

bundle config --local build.mysql2 "--with-ldflags=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib --with-cppflags=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include"

This sets it just for your application, which can be handy for checking into your repo if others need a similar configuration. But you can also make it a global configuration on your computer by replacing --local with --global and it will apply to all your bundle install commands on your User account.

Update

This actually didn't end up working for me but I'll leave it here because it should have worked. I basically just had to run:

gem install mysql2 -v '0.5.3' -- --with-ldflags=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib --with-cppflags=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include

Instead of using bundler, even though setting this build config should have done this.
