Re: Problems in building 1.2.2 on Mac OS 10.5

[Eva Heinz]

Hej everyone,

I worked on this for a week now and have no clue what to do anymore.

I finally got the Python MySQL 1.2.2 installed following a lot of helpful comments on the internet; I also work on Mac OS 10.5.

When trying 'import MySQLdb' in python, however, I get the following error:Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 19, in <module>
import _mysql
File "build/bdist.macosx-10.5-i386/egg/_mysql.py", line 7, in <module>
File "build/bdist.macosx-10.5-i386/egg/_mysql.py", line 6, in __bootstrap__
ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (init_mysql)

So, following several people's advice, I changed my MySQL to a 32-bit-version. Hm. Still does not work. So I de- and reinstalled the 1.2.2. Got it installed again, but the error message in python remains (almost) the same:

>>> import MySQLdb

anybody got any idea??? I just started working with Unix this summer and am entirely lost now :-(

many thanks,
