Issue when trying to run WEBrick and Rails

Question

Going through the Lynda training for Ruby on Rails and got to the point where I am starting the WEBrick sever via the rails s command. I am in the same directory as the video /Users/myuser/Sites/simple_cms

I get the following error:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql2-0.3.2/lib/mysql2/mysql2.bundle: dlopen(/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql2-0.3.2/lib/mysql2/mysql2.bundle, 9): Library not loaded: libmysqlclient.18.dylib (LoadError)

I followed the instructions @ Unable to start rails server
Still getting the error. I also followed the directions @ rails server fails to start with mysql2 using rvm & ruby 1.9.2-p0 on OSX 10.6.5
Any help would be appreciated.

Okay so after further research I found my own answer

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

This did it for me. Just incase anyone else can't move past this problem with the original solutions.
