OK, sorted. Thanks for all of your help. Here, for the record, is what I did, based on your collected suggestions: 1. I ran this command (all on one line): sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" gem install mysql -- --with-mysql- config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config 2. I did the install_name_tool thing (also all on one line - note the paths carefully - the first is the wrong path, the second is the correct path and the third should also be correct): sudo install_name_tool -change /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/ libmysqlclient.15.dylib /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.15.dylib 3. To test, I created a new mysql project, changed to the project folder, edited the username and password in config/database.yml and then typed rake db:create:all. This just returned the command prompt with no error.
