I’d skip the whole Xampp part… Leopard comes with Rails and Apache
already, though you’ll need to update Rails.
You should only need to do:

sudo gem update --system
sudo gem update rails

Turn on Websharing and you should be good to go.
the Rails wiki shows how to use Xampp’s MySQL socket
http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/XAMPP+integration

Hope that helps
