macOS Ventura causes failure to install 'mysql2' due to 'ld: library not found for -lzlib'

Unable to install mysql2 using bundle install. I ask this because some websites and blogs have shown how to solve problems caused by ssl, zstd, but I can't find a solution caused by zlib plan. Has anyone else encountered the same problem?

BTW, I'm running bundle install locally, not on docker.

An error occurred while installing mysql2 (0.5.5), and Bundler cannot continue.

In Gemfile:
  mysql2

What I tried

・After executing brew install zlib, add the following content to .zshrc

export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/zlib/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/zlib/include"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/zlib/lib/pkgconfig"

・Add the following, which are not shown in brew info zlib but are mentioned in the answers here.

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/homebrew/opt/zlib/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

    The solutions proposed by Fyorden worked for me, but in my case they were installed by homebrew, so they were in different paths. I edited the file in the root project .bundle/config using the parameters:

    BUNDLE_BUILD__MYSQL2: "--with-mysql-lib=/opt/homebrew/opt/mysql/lib --with-mysql-dir=/opt/homebrew/opt/mysql --with-mysql-config=/opt/homebrew/opt/mysql/bin/mysql_config \ --with-mysql-include=/opt/homebrew/opt/mysql/include --with-ldflags=-L/opt/homebrew/opt/zlib/lib"

    Hello, to correct the same error, I have created a file on the root project: .bundle/config

    with this parameter
    ---
    BUNDLE_BUILD__MYSQL2: "--with-mysql-lib=/usr/local/opt/mysql/lib --with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/opt/mysql --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/opt/mysql/bin/mysql_config \ --with-mysql-include=/usr/local/opt/mysql/include --with-ldflags=-L/usr/local/opt/zlib/lib"

    I think this is a bug with the last mysql brew package

    I was inspired byhttps://prabinpoudel .com.np/notes/error-while-installing-mysql2-in-m1-mac/
