I'm a total newbie, trying to follow a Rails tutorial and have successfully run the install routine from http://railsinstaller.org/

I have also installed mysql

I have used the command> rails new simple_cms -d mysql

this appeared to run successfully

when I run rails server

this is the output below - doesn't seem to bootup WEBrick on port 3000

Many thanks

I had the same problem. Because on Mac OS X, mysql usually installs in /usr/local/mysql, you will need to manually set the path to the libmysqlclient in /usr/lib.

Run this in a terminal:

sudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib
