MySQLdb on a VPS...

[trace s. ruggles]

I'm at a total loss here and desperately need help!!! I'm trying to install
the MySQLdb module but this is what I get... (running FreeBSD4.2 on a VPS,
note my "/usr/home/axiomfir/" prefix to all folder listings)

..

axiomfire% ./python Lib/site-packages/MySQLdb/setup.py build
