If you have XCode installed, that's all you need as far as dev packages. It
includes compilers, development libraries, and so forth. You don't really
need to worry about it, as long as XCode is more or less completely
installed, you're good. It may be worthwhile making sure you have the latest
version (free download from Apple, after all), but otherwise, you're good.

For latest versions of Mac OS X, XCode, and the mysql gem, I've had no
troubles; but you used to need to do something like:

gem install mysql -- –with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config

The big caveat, of course, is checking to see that this path in the example
above is actually correct. If your mysql is in /opt/local or somewhere else,
look there instead. This used to be a very common hurdle for installing the
mysql gem on Mac OS X, so a few good Google searches should get you more
suggestions than you even want... :)
