Okay ... RESOLVED! :D I left the mysql installation as such in /usr/local . I had been running the ruby and rails shipped with leopard in /usr/ bin. Followed the hivelogic article (http://hivelogic.com/articles/ruby- rails-leopard) to roll my own installations in /usr/local/ and then ran "sudo gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql" . Worked like a charm!
