Getting the following error after running rake db:migrate

What does the libssl refer to?
First uninstall the mysql2 gem:
gem uninstall mysql2
Make sure you installed openssl:
brew install openssl
It will print out some notes. We are interested in this part:
For compilers to find this software you may need to set:
LDFLAGS: -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
CPPFLAGS: -I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include
Then you can re-install mysql2 gem like this:
gem install mysql2 -v 0.4.10 -- --with-cppflags=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include --with-ldflags=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
You should be good to go.
So the answer to my own question was the following - out of the 5 or so other solutions on stackoverflow, this is the only one that worked:
brew install openssl
cd /usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.1f/lib
sudo cp libssl.1.0.0.dylib libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib /usr/lib/
