To build on OSX from source, I followed the instructions posted on:
http://hivelogic.com/articles/2005/12/01/ruby_rails_lighttpd_mysql_tiger

The instructions are very easy to follow (he assumes no prior 
experience) and they leave a well organized install on your machine.  I 
now use a variant of his instructions for Ubuntu installs as well since 
his approach was far superior to my "hammer till it works" style.

p.s the article may be a little out of date on versions but I had no 
problems with the latest releases.

Hope this helps
