I found this, but it's about upgrading issues, not a fresh install. Apparently the preferences sop working when you upgrade from a Tiger installation.

Angry-Fly.com: Fix for MySQL on Leopard

yeh it does, you have to run 2 commands form terminal to start and stop the mySQL

#starting SQL:

sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start

Stoping SQL:

sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server stop

i dont know if it's my ruby skills, but i'm in the midst of learning RoR, like in terminal i can add data using ruby code, but when calling it in a .rhtml file it doesn't display the data

I have no idea, so I'm just going to point you to Dan Benjamin and say "good luck":

I installed RC5.1 a few days ago and the preference pane didn't work. Reason is that the data folder is not associated with your user so you need to chmod it and voila works 100% again. If you're not comfortable with chmod then do it from Finder. You'll need to double click the lock first, enter root password and then change it.

is there a compatible preference pane yet? i haven't heard of one yet, BUT i really haven't been keeping an eye on it as much lately...

Hello guys,

I have installed and enjoyed MySQL since Jaguar but it has always given me trouble installing. Has anybody got the good oil on getting this started on Leopard. I have downloaded and installed vs. 6

Cheers...
