Installing ruby gem mysql

Rails

Hi All;
I am new to RoR and have a new MacBook Pro with OS X 10.5.5
This is what I have on it.

bash-3.2$ cd /usr/local
bash-3.2$ ls
mysql mysql-5.1.30-osx10.5-x86

bash-3.2$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-03-03 patchlevel 114) [universal-darwin9.0]

bash-3.2$ gem install mysql
Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org

Any help is appreciated.

The hivelogic/ dan benjamin guide (
http://danbenjamin.com/articles/2008/02/ruby-rails-leopard
) covers this (you can ignore most it and just skip to the
installing the mysql gem part)

Thanks for the response.
MySQL is installed. All is OK at this point,
