Re: MySQLdb on Intel Mac

[stefan sonnenberg]

Mac OS X has three environment variables possibly involved:

DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
LIB_PATH

So, that the build works, makes me believe that the versions are
all ok.

But perhaps you need to set one/all of the to point to the MySQL
libraries.

In a console try:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/Applications/MAMP/Library/lib/mysql

and then try to import MySQLdb in python

perhaps you'll need to modify the other *_LIBRARY_PATH vars as well.

P.S.:
is the (mysql_root)s/ ... correct ?
then do this:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/Applications/MAMP/Librarys/lib/mysql
