There's a bunch of gem build options that allow you to specify each individual location. --with-mysql-include and --with-mysql-lib and some others. Before compiling from source you might try specifying them exactly. Also double check that your new install is getting symlinked correctly to /usr/local/mysql/.
My prefpane worked right away so I'll be no help there. My only guess is that somehow the dir is not getting set up right and the prefpane fails when looking for it.
