Installing Ruby MySQL gem on Mac OS X Leopard

Thanks to this post, I discovered how to install the MySQL ruby gem on Mac OS X:

You must be using the x86 variant of MySQL, not x86_64, apparently.  Then:

sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" gem install mysql -- \
--with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql --with-mysql-lib=/usr/local/mysql/lib \
--with-mysql-include=/usr/local/mysql/include

    A colleague just found this:
    sudo env ARCHFLAGS=”-arch i386″ gem install mysql — –with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
    I believe they are essentially equivalent, however this new one is more elegant.
