It seems as if you need to have the `mysql_config` command in your  
PATH variable and it's not there.

Look for where mysql was installed (maybe /usr/local/mysql/...) and  
add its bin directory to your PATH environment variable. Or maybe it  
installed some binaries/symlinks into your /usr/local/bin directory?

I think that'll do it for you.
