MySQLdb installation

[T. Kaufmann]

Hi,

RDBMS MySQL works fine on my machine. I want to install MySQL-python
1.0.0 under Red Hat 9.0.

platform.platform()

'Linux-2.4.20-8-i686-with-redhat-9-Shrike'

There are some problems. If I call python

setup.py build

there are lots of errors:

_mysql.c:41:19: mysql.h: File not found

What can I do? How can I fix it?

o-o

Start with reading the README :-P
How can I fix it?

... which mentions, among others:

* Red Hat Linux packages:
- mysql-devel to compile
- mysql and/or mysql-devel to run

Thomas,
I believe the mysql.h file that is not being found
is part of the mysql developement package (and not the
MySQLDB package). If you do have mysql.h somewhere, it
is not in your include path.

Install the package mysql-devel.

Yes, it could be the problem. I searched the header (with 'locate
mysql.h') - but there is no such file on my machine.

Thanks for help.
