I'm having the exact issue as described in this question: MYSQL Installation Troubles. Unfortunately none of the answers helped me (and it's closed).
I try to learn Ruby on Rails and don't get MySQL working (so it is programming related).
I typed: rake db:create
and got:
!!!The bundled mysql.rb driver has been removed from Rails 2.2. Please install the mysql gem and try again: gem install mysql.
rake aborted!
no such file to load -- mysql
(See full trace by running task with --trace)
HD-Auckland:shoutbox max$ gem install mysql

So as it told me I tried sudo gem install mysql
and got:

I also tried this command sudo gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
and got the same error!
What can I do? I only want to migrate my db to the MySQL server!
Thanks for help, Mexx
Thanks for all the great response! Yes, I am on Snow Leopard. I downloaded mysql from here http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.1.html#macosx-dmg and installed it. I then followed Hivelogic's guide for the mysql installation.
when I now type: sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
or sudo gem istall mysql
or sudo gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql
I will get:

And doing rake db:create
will end up with:

!!! The bundled mysql.rb driver has been removed from Rails 2.2. Please install the mysql gem and try again: gem install mysql.

(See full trace by running task with --trace)
for some reason (maybe because i'm using rubygems 1.3.7 or installing mysql-2.8.1)
sudo gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
did not work for me so after taking a look at gems/mysql-2.8.1/ext/mysql_api/extconf.rb i found out that the extconf.rb looks in the PATH for mysql_config so i tried
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin
sudo gem install mysql
and did the job
Are you on snow leopard? You have to execute the C dependencies compiles with x64 headers, try:
sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
