It's wrong. The path to mysql_config is not defined in site.cfg by default. There is example configuration but it's commented out. By default mysqlclient searches mysql_config from PATH. You had not reported enough information from start. You should explain which C mysql client library you are using and how you build mysqlclient. Since you said you need to specify the path of mysql_config, I suppose you're not using MySQL or C mysql client library provided by your distro. But you have not show enough information about it yet. This is linking error. The error is happened from C library. You need to report about it, at least: * How did you installed C mysql client library. * The output of the `mysql_config` * The output of the `ldd /usr/local/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/mysqlclient-1.4.4-py3.6-linux-x86_64.egg/MySQLdb/_mysql.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so` Regards, -- Inada Naoki <songofaca...@gmail.com> -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
