Mysql gem under OSX:

  Install:
	$ sudo gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config

	Or, 64-bit:
	$ sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install -V mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config

	Or, with MacPorts, mysql5 and mysql5-devel installed, this might work (or try 64-bit)
	$ sudo gem install -V mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/opt/local/bin/mysql_config5

  testing it:
	$ irb
  irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
  => false
  irb(main):002:0> require 'mysql_api'
  => true
  irb(main):003:0> Mysql.get_client_info 
  => "5.1.34"
  irb(main):004:0> Mysql.get_client_version
  => 50134
