Homebrew (http://github.com/mxcl/homebrew) is your friend for software dependencies installation.
Here's a rough guide that gives the process: http://samsoff.es/posts/running-rails-local-development-with-nginx-postgres-and-passenger-with-homebrew Substitute mysql for postgresql and drop the nginx install and most of the steps are the same. Personally, I use Ruby Enterprise Edition as installed from Homebrew, too and it works well for managing RubyGems without sudo (passenger is included in the install). It's what I use in production, so it makes my development environment more closely match what I'm using in production.
