Yes to your statement on rvm not being a fetcher of various packages. I
expressed it improperly rather then being confused :{
Here is the link from rvm on how to get the mysql database from mysql site
with their recommendation which i followed leading to this raised issue:
https://rvm.io/integration/databases/
Under OSX.
As per previous note, I believe rvm's advice will be corrected in the above
link as 'current Mysql downloads' causes the mysql2 gem problem when using
rvm.
FWIW:
The mysql2 gem problem is NOT caused by rvm but in the downloaded files
supplied by Mysql site's 'download'.
So the current route is use Macports to install mysql it rather than Mysql
website download.(as per advice from this group + rvm/irc session)
The current Mysql database download works well but has problems when Rails
interfaces to it via mysql2 gem.
This still leaves the issue outstanding regarding rails/mysql via 'Mysql
download' where one wants to use the latest Mysql database version.
