mysql_affected_rows is part of the MySQL API. This message suggests
that mysqlclient_ss.dylib is either not being linked correctly against
the MySQL library or the MySQL library is not found at runtime.

On Linux there is a tool that will tell you which shared library a
particular piece of code is linked to. No doubt there is an equivalent
on OS X (otool, perhaps). You might find out from the Apple docs, and
then see if mysqlclient_ss.dylib is indeed linked against the correct
library.
