MySQL Gem Issues
Used this method for mysql gem install (note version 2.7, the newer mysql gem does NOT work)
source:http://accidentaltechnologist.com/apple/fixing-uninitialized-constant-mysqlcompatmysqlres-error-on-snow-leopard/

$ export ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64" ;sudo gem install --no-rdoc --no-ri  -v=2.7 mysql -- --with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql  --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config

than I had to use this command:
source: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4546698/library-not-loaded-libmysqlclient-16-dylib-error-when-trying-to-run-rails-serve

$ sudo install_name_tool -change libmysqlclient.16.dylib /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.16.dylib ~/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p330/gems/mysql-2.7/lib/mysql.bundle

-OR- on my laptop (same as above, slightly modified):
$ sudo install_name_tool -change libmysqlclient.18.dylib /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib ~/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p299/gems/mysql-2.7/lib/mysql.bundle
