importing MySQLdb

[Dilara Ally]

Hi All

I'm trying to import the MySQLdb for python.  I downloaded the proper 
setuptools egg (ver2.7) for a Mac with OSX10.6

I then downloaded the MySQL-python-1.2.3 and ran the following commands

python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install

Then to test that the module was properly loaded I used the interactive 
python prompt ad ran the following command:

import MySQLdb

The error message read:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
   File "MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 19, in <module>
     import _mysql
   File "build/bdist.macosx-10.6-intel/egg/_mysql.py", line 7, in <module>
   File "build/bdist.macosx-10.6-intel/egg/_mysql.py", line 6, in 
__bootstrap__
ImportError: 
dlopen(/Users/dally/.python-eggs/MySQL_python-1.2.3-py2.7-macosx-10.6-intel.egg-tmp/_mysql.so, 
2): Library not loaded: libmysqlclient.18.dylib
   Referenced from: 
/Users/dally/.python-eggs/MySQL_python-1.2.3-py2.7-macosx-10.6-intel.egg-tmp/_mysql.so
   Reason: image not found

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem?  Any help will be 
greatly appreciated!
