Question

When I type the rails server on terminal, I got the following error.
I don’t know how to fix it. Is any one can give me a help?
And I also need a ruby on rails mac os x Lion installation tutorial.

When I’ve run into this in the past, I’ve used the following solution.

In the terminal, run:

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/mysql/lib"

Then try running your rails server command in the root of your app. If it works, just put that same command into your ~/.profile so that it runs each time you enter the terminal.
