[Pythonmac-SIG] Problem during installing MySQL module in Python - Other error

[Zsolt.Putnoky at alcatel.fr]

Thanks Jack for the info. I will take a look once more. As far as I 
remember the setup.py does not contain specific information about the 
thing it expects to find in that library. 

/usr/lib/libcrypto.dylib - this sounds interesting, I will check if I can 
find something more detailed about this.

Have a good day,

Zsolt Putnoky

MacOSX doesn't have a library libcrypt. Check the setup.py script to
see whether it has any suggestions for it could be expecting from that
library. If it's the fairly standard unix "crypt" function: that's in
the standard library so you can just remove the crypt library..

If it's something else you may need to hunt around for it. There's a
/usr/lib/libcrypto.dylib, but I have no idea what it contains..
