Install MySQL-python-0.9.1

[Cathy Hui]

I am trying to install MySQL-Python 0.9.1 on my Solaris 8 system.  The
system has Python 2.3.3 and Mysql 4.0.21 installed.

This is where I downloaded the distribution of the Mysql-python
package:

http://www.ravenbrook.com/project/p4dti/import/2001-10-16/MySQL-python-0.9.1/MySQL-python-0.9.1.tar.gz

I have been doing whatever instructed from the README file.

i.e.

change the setup.py according to what OS I'm using:

    elif sys.platform == "sunos5": # Solaris 2.8
    include_dirs = ['/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql']
    library_dirs = ['/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql']
    libraries = [mysqlclient, "z"]
    runtime_library_dirs =
['/usr/local/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/dt/lib']
    extra_objects = []

Then run the setup.py script with Python, here is the problem.

I am encountering the following issue when running the setup.py script.
 Do u know why is that?  Thanks!
