I just recently set up an OS X (Tiger) ruby environment like this:
1. curl -O rufy.com/fix-ruby-tiger.sh;
2. sh fix-ruby-tiger.sh
3. sudo gem install rails
4. Downloaded latest MySQL binary from MySQL.com
5. Installed MySQL
6. Made sure MySQL stuff was on my path
7. Downloaded ruby mysql source from http://www.tmtm.org/en/mysql/ruby/
8. Expanded archive and navigated to its main directory
9. ruby extconf.rb --with-mysql-config
10. sudo make install
The only thing that gave me trouble was skipping step 6, which caused
step 9 to blow up on me.
The instructions above are loosely based on:

I'll put them up on our wiki once that's available, though feel free to
point out any parts that I've overcomplicated.
On Linux (SuSE 9.x) I've never had any trouble. I haven't had to
reinstall in a while, so I don't remember my exact steps, but I think I
usually just:
1. Grab and install the latest ruby rpm
2. Grab and install the latest rubygems rpm
3. sudo gem install rails
I have a vague memory of doing something MySQL related during my first
Linux rails install (and that I needed to have the mysql-devel package),
but I'm not sure I had to do that when I installed the latest ruby/rails
on SuSE 9.3.
Cheers,
Erin
