Dear Pat Allan, Thanks very much for your help, I think you are right. MySQL2 was affected by an old MySQL installation.
For the record, this worked: Removed all installations of MySQL and Sphinx brew uninstall mysql, brew uninstall mysql@5.7 brew uninstall sphinx Reinstalled MySQL@5.7 and Sphinx brew install mysql@5.7 brew install sphinx Ran 'gem install mysql2' from command line including the following '--with' flags. I think the path to 'mysql_config' is what made this work. This seems to correct the earlier error Cannot find mysql_config at /usr/local/bin/mysql_config when running gem install mysql2 without the flags. *gem install mysql2 -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/Cellar/mysql@5.7/5.7.29/bin/mysql_config --with-cflags=\"-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include\" --with-ldflags=\"-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib\"* Yours, Justin Underwood On Monday, March 30, 2020 at 12:30:43 PM UTC+1, Justin Underwood wrote: > > I am using macOS Mojave 10.14.6. > > I am trying to configure Sphinx to use MySQL database for a Ruby on Rails > project. > > I have been using Homebrew to install both Sphinx and MySQL.
