I don't have Mac, I've never tried it on Mac, so I've no idea if it can be made to work there. I can't really suggest anything. Your only way would be try to locate problem yourself, fix it and send PR or you could ask around if there's anyone who could help you there. Like I said I can't test (and never have even tried) it on Mac so sorry.

This sounds like a mysql client issue (as in the build can't find the headers/libraries). I doubt that this type of problem is completely unique to the Mac platform - but it is just more messy on a mac because... it's a mac: where NIH is the rule of the day and they do everything different (not a problem per se, but it leads to some pretty major annoyances at times).

I have built and used this package on OSX 10.8. There were a few difficulties in getting this pointed at the right places for the mysql client libraries, but unfortunately due to the passage of time I no longer recall the specifics.
