Segmentation Fault when requiring mysql2 gem

Question

I had been developing a rails app in development using 1.8.7 and now am trying to switch to 1.9.2 (using RVM).

However, after switching rubies, installing rails, and bundling my app, running 'rails s' incurs this error (require 'mysql2' in irb gives the same error):

/Users/kmurph79/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180/gems/mysql2-0.2.6/lib/mysql2/mysql2.bundle: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 1.9.2p180 (2011-02-18 revision 30909) [x86_64-darwin10.6.0]

Abort trap

Mysql is installed via homebrew and was working fine under 1.8.7, but perhaps I need to install a new mysql version? I dunno.

Thank you very much for any help.

Answer 1

I solved the problem by downloading the latest version of MySQL.
