Wait, what? I think you're still confused. Using rvm to manage your
ruby versions and gemsets has nothing whatsoever to do with how
you install server software like MySQL on your system.

I suggested that if a MacPorts install of MySQL provided the header
files you need to install the mysql *gem* and just worked, then you
might as well go with that and be done.

So you can get on to the fun part of developing with Rails :-)

BTW, do you have a link to the rvm site where it discusses MySQL
installation? I've never seen that.
