If you are on a 32-bit platform:
gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-conf=/usr/bin/mysql_config --with-mysql-lib=/usr/lib/mysql
If you are on a 64-bit platform:
gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-conf=/usr/bin/mysql_config --with-mysql-lib=/usr/lib64/mysql

Which rubies do not work with rubygems 1.3.x? Getting ruby 1.8.7 and newer to compile with readline support on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL4 and RHEL5)

You will never get that to work!
