I happened on same problem after installing new database server MySQL5.0 to 5.1. If you have installed new db-server, Your mysql gem library is not suitable for your database server. You may solve this by reinstall mysql gem lib.

 sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/your/mysql_config
