Getting going

On OS X if you are having issues using mysql (image not found) the following can help.

$ find /usr -name libmysqlclient.18.dylib
/usr/local/mysql-5.5.17-osx10.6-x86_64/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib

Add the path from the find results above to the the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable:

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/mysql-5.5.17-osx10.6-x86_64/lib/"
