I had this issue, and to start with, I followed various blogs to set the location of the mysql libraries etc.. However, when I did it yesterday, I simply installed the 32 BIT mysql package directly from the mysql web site (64 bit wont work apparently). Then I did 'sudo gem install mysql' - and to my amazement, everything worked.
I do wish the rails guys had made this a little less painful though - I bet it puts off some newbies from even venturing into rails.
