Updating the pre-installed Ruby interpreter is not recommended, as explained here:

Rubygems and ROR can be updated via Rubygems.

You can compile MySQL using these instructions from Dan Benjamin:

I installed everything from source on Ubuntu and it wasn't difficult, but I found that it was easier to use MacPorts to install MySQL, Ruby and RubyGems and then use RubyGems to install all the gems you want. I have written a <a href="http://blog.rayvinly.com/articles/2007/11/29/ setting-up-ruby-on-rails-with-mysql-on-mac-os-x-10-5-leopard">blog post</a> about how I got it to work. Give it a try.
