Hi there, I'm a first time Django user, trying to set up Django on my Mac 10.5.8 Leopard with MySQL from MAMP. Is this actually possible?
I managed to get the welcome message from Django install, so that's working, I assume. Next, MySQL, I got this: ==== >>> import MYSQLdb Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named MYSQLdb ==== I went and downloaded the mysql-python-1.2.3c1, unpacked it, tried to build it, and got this error: ==== running build running build_py copying MySQLdb/release.py -> build/lib.macosx-10.5-i386-2.5/MySQLdb running build_ext building '_mysql' extension gcc -Wl,-F. -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup -arch i386 -arch ppc build/temp.macosx-10.5-i386-2.5/_mysql.o -L/Applications/MAMP/Library/ lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r -lz -lm -o build/lib.macosx-10.5-i386-2.5/ _mysql.so ld: library not found for -lmysqlclient_r collect2: ld returned 1 exit status ld: library not found for -lmysqlclient_r collect2: ld returned 1 exit status lipo: can't open input file: /var/folders/sE/sEdFajpBFXergJVaiXZyfU++ +TI/-Tmp-//cc1NtAuY.out (No such file or directory) error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 ==== I also tried the older version, mysql-python-1.2.2, got the unsigned error, commented out lines 37-39 as suggested by many, which worked, but got this similar error: ==== running build running build_py copying MySQLdb/release.py -> build/lib.macosx-10.5-i386-2.5/MySQLdb running build_ext building '_mysql' extension gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -Wno-long-double -no-cpp-precomp -mno-fused- madd -fno-common -dynamic -DNDEBUG -g -Os -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes - DMACOSX -I/usr/include/ffi -DENABLE_DTRACE -arch i386 -arch ppc -pipe - Dversion_info=(1,2,2,'final',0) -D__version__=1.2.2 -I/Applications/ MAMP/Library/include/mysql -I/System/Library/Frameworks/ Python.framework/Versions/2.5/include/python2.5 -c _mysql.c -o build/ temp.macosx-10.5-i386-2.5/_mysql.o -fno-omit-frame-pointer - D_P1003_1B_VISIBLE -DSIGNAL_WITH_VIO_CLOSE -DSIGNALS_DONT_BREAK_READ - DIGNORE_SIGHUP_SIGQUIT -DDONT_DECLARE_CXA_PURE_VIRTUAL gcc -Wl,-F. -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup -arch i386 -arch ppc build/temp.macosx-10.5-i386-2.5/_mysql.o -L/Applications/MAMP/Library/ lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r -lz -lm -o build/lib.macosx-10.5-i386-2.5/ _mysql.so ld: library not found for -lmysqlclient_r collect2: ld returned 1 exit status ld: library not found for -lmysqlclient_r collect2: ld returned 1 exit status lipo: can't open input file: /var/folders/sE/sEdFajpBFXergJVaiXZyfU++ +TI/-Tmp-//ccV4OFgQ.out (No such file or directory) error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 ==== How can I get around the "ld: library not found for -lmysqlclient_r" error? What am I missing or doing wrong? Many have also suggested to use SQLite. At this rate I'm willing to give it a try, though I would much prefer MySQL MAMP/XAMPP alternative if it's possible at all. Thanks for your help, I'm looking forward to your advise. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
