Actually, if you do not have a specified library in your normal library 
path you have to use DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH on OS X. The dynamic linker 
settings are prefixed with "DYLD_" instead of the "LD_" on Linux and 
perhaps other *nix.

You could try to get "mysql_config" into your path and run "ruby 
../extconf.rb --with-mysql-config". It will then run the helper to figure 
out any compiler flags. This might help.

Kind regards,
