For configuring Rails on a Mac, I'd definitely follow this guide:
http://hivelogic.com/narrative/articles/ruby_rails_lighttpd_mysql_tiger
I know several people have followed it and found it very helpful. I've never had problems with my install.
I know some people use Locomotive on a Mac, but I've just used this article and compiled everything from source. I keep my Rails install in the vendor directory so I can freeze it.
Good luck!
