Mysql Snow leopard issue

Just installed snow leopard and Xcode, i downloaded version 5.1.38 from the mysql website and installed it, then i ran sudo gem uninstall mysql and when i try to gem install mysql as below i get a documentation error, also when i try to run mysql by simply typing mysql into terminal i get -bash: mysql: command not found. When i try to connect via MySql Administrator (gui) and also through my ruby on rails app i get Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock. Any suggestions?

$ sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config

Ok, i found my answer here: http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?116,359591,359591#msg-359591

Make sure you read all the post.

The author says specifically:

"So what you're looking for here is not a universal, "right instruction" to install the mysql gem; what we need is universal instruction to build the right instruction for our particular gem and MySQL installation."

For me the right solution was:

sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install mysql --no-rdoc --no-ri -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config

Me and my team member successfully following steps from http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2009/8/30/upgrading-to-snow-leopard

but rather than update MacPort, We re-install it from dmg file. The Rubygems by get it update manually

sudo gem install rubygems-update

Snow Leopard screws up Mac Ports and MySQL. There's another SO question about it here.
