By "system", I meant the OS, not the app framework. > The good thing is that anyone can enable Apache+PHP in OS X, then > download and install MySQL and they will just work.

The official site says that ROR is installed by default on Mac OS. MySQL installs the same way regardless of whether you're using PHP or Ruby. So that leaves the mysql gem, which does just work.
