? why would you do that before getting your gem situation straightened out?

I would stick with the one you used to install the gem for now.

You can check with, e.g.
prompt% irb
>> require 'rubygems'
=> false
>> require 'mysql'
=> true
>> db = Mysql.connect("localhost", "user","password", "database")

where the last three parameters match your installation.

You should get something back like

=> #<Mysql:0x101ff4248>
