Tadashi Shigeoka · Sat, September 25, 2021
I’ll introduce how to fix the error An error occurred while installing mysql2 (0.5.3), and Bundler cannot continue. that occurs during bundle install.
Background: `An error occurred while installing mysql2 (0.5.3), and Bundler cannot continue.`
When running bundle install, I got the error An error occurred while installing mysql2 (0.5.3), and Bundler cannot continue., and running gem install mysql2 -v '0.5.3' --source 'https://rubygems.org/' didn’t solve it, which was troublesome.
$ bundle install

Don't know how to set rpath on your system, if MySQL libraries are not in path mysql2 may not load

An error occurred while installing mysql2 (0.5.3), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install mysql2 -v '0.5.3' --source 'https://rubygems.org/'` succeeds before bundling.
In Gemfile:
spree_dev_tools was resolved to 0.1.10, which depends on
mysql2
Solution: bundle config --local build.mysql2 "--with-ldflags=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"
bundle config --local build.mysql2 "--with-ldflags=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"
bundle install
That’s all from the Gemba on solving the error where mysql2 couldn’t be installed during bundle install.
