I would love to know what others have done, but on Snow Leopard I used
MacPorts to install Ruby, MySQL and the native MySQL gem.
Cheers!

Hello Boulder Ruby,
I am new to Ruby On Rails, and normally am willing to suffer through
the long and winding road of apprenticeship that comes with learning
any new environment; but in this case, I am reaching out to the
local Ruby community to see if someone might be willing to help me
with a tough installation problem to get me up and running.
I'm a developer with 15 years experience, but don't have the time to
learn everything about the Ruby/Gems/Rails environment just to get
it working. And I wouldn't send this message if it wasn't urgent;
I've been going round and round for a couple of weeks trying to the
mysql gem 2.8.1 to work with on the iMac Snow Leopard -- to no
avail. This appears to be a well known bug in the community, and has
given major headache to many.
For a quick synopsis of this issue, an excellent thread is posted at
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/991708/rails-mysql-and-snow-leopard
Though I am trying all the suggestions mentioned there, I am no
closer to getting this to work. I am using the example shown on the
Apple Developer page
http://developer.apple.com/tools/rubyonrails.html
as a demo project, but am currently stuck at the step:
rake db: migrate
I really wanted to make it to your meeting this past Tuesday night,
but only learned of it that day, and had too many other commitments
to come.
But if there are any iMac ROR gurus out there who are willing to
make contact, please let me know. This project has professional
ramifications for me, and I'd love to jump into ROR development, and
become an active member in your community.
Thanks much,
-- Rick
