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

I tried uninstalling every version of mysql I installed via homebrew and reinstalling them, like so:
brew uninstall --force mysql && brew install mysql
Then running:
sudo gem install mysql2
As suggested by a number of similar questions asked on here, but it still results in the same error as above.
Please could someone offer guidance on how to get this up and running?
The error log says:
ld: library not found for -lssl
So, you need to install libssl:
brew install openssl
As it was pointed out in comments, there might be a need to export the path to the library.
export LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/
