Re: MySQLdb on Intel Mac

[Sebi LeCount]

I've noticed the same thing, the program looks for the dynamic library in a directory called /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/, when the actual directory is just /usr/local/mysql/lib/, without the addional mysql/.

I've filed a report with the developer of MySQLdb, but I believe the problem originates from the mysql side of things: the program mysql_config, that the setup.py of MySQLdb uses to find the location of the library reports this:

Usage: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config [OPTIONS]
Options:
--cflags [-I/usr/local/mysql/include -Os -arch i386 -fno-common]
--include [-I/usr/local/mysql/include]
--libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lm]
--libs_r [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r -lz -lm]
--socket [/tmp/mysql.sock]
--port [3306]
--version [5.0.45]
--libmysqld-libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqld -lz -lm]


I'm pretty sure I've never touched this setting, and I don't know where to reset it, but the paths it shows are clearly wrong. This must be a mysql problem. I was using the installation disk image provided on mysql.com.

Any suggestions?
