  --with-mysql-include=/usr/local/mysql/include

OR :

$sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install mysql -- \
  --with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql --with-mysql-lib=/usr/local/mysql/lib \
  --with-mysql-include=/usr/local/mysql/include

If your mysql version is 64Bits

After that i had a lot of problems because if i want to create the database:

$: bundle exec rake db:reset

i was receiving this error:

The solution is: On your gemfile add: gem "ruby-mysql"

Ok, one day and a half to find the solution.

Have a nice day!
