You're on the right track - missing the MySQL python libraries. It looks like Python is also missing the zlib libraries...

Looking on an Ubuntu box, the package I installed was: "apt-get install python-mysqldb" -joe On 10/3/07, swati <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi All, > > I am setting up first django project.
