MySQL Forums :: Python :: MySQL Connector/Python: MySQLdb to work on OSX 10.6

Achieved partial success. I can now get a build to work but there is a problem with the resulting _mysql.so file.

This is the gcc statement that I used:

gcc -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -dynamic -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Dversion_info="(1,2,3,'gamma',1)" -D__version__=1.2.3c1 -I/opt/local/include/mysql5/mysql -I/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/include/python2.6 -c _mysql.c -o build/temp.macosx-10.3-fat-2.6/_mysql.o -arch i386 -D_P1003_1B_VISIBLE -DSIGNAL_WITH_VIO_CLOSE -DSIGNALS_DONT_BREAK_READ -DIGNORE_SIGHUP_SIGQUIT

The runtime error I get when trying to import MySQLdb is:

>>> import MySQLdb
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 19, in <module>
import _mysql
ImportError: dlopen(MySQLdb/_mysql.so, 2): no suitable image found. Did find:
