I got this error after my thinking sphinx updation to the newest version of ‘3.0.5’. The error shows in the exact line of the code Model.search in my Rails controller. I updated my mysql2 version to ‘0.3.13’, and the issue is solved.
So in you Gemfile update the mysql2 version:
gem 'mysql2', '0.3.13'
And do
$ bundle install
