installing the mysql gem under leopard

I am building a new dev laptop (an MSI Wind u100 running Leopard!) and got everything going... but getting the mysql gem to install was tricky. I had installed MySQL from a binary DMG install.
The trick was to install the gem like so:
sudo gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
