i dont see the problem.

you can use locomotive[1] if you dont want to intall x-code with gcc.

it lets you create rails enviroments with a few mouseclicks (OS X only)

though, last time i used it, it was not up to date (regarding rails)

and you still have to get mysql up and runnning, there might be (i 
dont know) some mysql shipping with os, but i'd install a recent version.
