MySQLdb compile error with AMD64

[Keith Burns]

Found it.

Had to change
Extra_compile_args = config(cflags) to the actual list with -march=athlon64

Now just realized that I didn't download the right RPMs for MySQL for SUSE
on AMD64 (so got lib errors I am assuming cos of that).

Will download and update with what I changed in the setup.py once I get this
working.

Thanks for the pointers and getting me on the right track!

Hey there!

Appreciate the help but the CFLAGS did not change the gcc -march (I tried it
as above and with CFLAGS="-march=athlon64" which I found in a GCC flag FAQ).


I realize that the -march is my problem but I can't work out how to change
it.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
