  --with-mysql-dir=/sw/bin/mysql \
  --with-mysql-include=/sw/include/mysql \
  --with-mysql-lib=/sw/lib/mysql \
  --with-mysql-config=/sw/bin/mysql_config

# if installed from source with make install :

sudo gem install mysql -- 
  --with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql
  --with-mysql-include=/usr/local/mysql/include/

Initial Description
When installing mysql and mysql-dev with fink, gem is unable to find the mysql headers and libraries: you should specify their location. If compiled manually from source, gem will find it if /usr/local/mysql (or what ever other location you specified at compilation time) is in your path.
