Connecting to a mysql db using RoR 3, sqlite3

Surely this is a newb question as I am just learning RoR and can't find a simple answer to this relatively simple need.

I want to use sqlite3 as my app's database, but I would like to connect to another mysql database just to return data.

I've tried to install the gem for mysql, but won't install for whatever reason. I tried to use MAMP mysql lib but it rejected that as well.

Using: - rails 3 - ruby 1.9 - mac os x snow leopard

Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated!

Check out the gem mysql2; in their readme, the section entitled "Usage" may be really helpful for you.
