Those of you doing rails development work on Leopard with MySQL have probably seen this error message when starting your app:
WARNING: You’re using the Ruby-based MySQL library that ships with Rails. This library is not suited for production. Please install the C-based MySQL library instead (gem install mysql).
Normally I don’t care, but I figured since I was doing some cleanup today and getting things ready to move on to a longer term it might be good to have a properly working MySQL gem. I like to run with a system that is close to what we run production. The closer you get, the less surprises you have when you push it live.
