The MacPorts MySQL socket has never been in /tmp, to the best of my  
knowledge. The official binary distribution of MySQL from http:// 
dev.mysql.com does use that location, however.

When using the MacPorts php5 port with the MacPorts mysql5 port, they  
"just work." PHP knows where the MySQL socket is. I don't use Ruby,  
but I would have hoped that MacPorts Ruby would also "just work" with  
MacPorts MySQL.
