Sorry, didn't thought that it could be all too important - but thinking  
about it, my excuse sounds a bit silly. Well here they are:

$ python setup.py build
sh: line 1: mysql_config: command not found
sh: line 1: mysql_config: command not found
sh: line 1: mysql_config: command not found

_mysql.c:73: error: parse error before "MYSQL"
_mysql.c:73: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union
_mysql.c:76: error: parse error before '}' token
_mysql.c:76: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of  
`_mysql_ConnectionObject'
_mysql.c:76: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
_mysql.c:87: error: parse error before "MYSQL_RES"
_mysql.c:87: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union
_mysql.c:91: error: parse error before '}' token
and so on.

Yet, I'm still hesitant to send the entire list of errors.
Anyway: Looking on the first few lines let me search for mysql_config.  
All I found was a binary in my PHP folder - but this has got nothing to  
do with MySQL for Python. There is no other mysql_config file on the  
system.
setup.py tries to use 'popen'  on 'mysql_config'. Well, from this point  
on I still have no idea how to proceed and want to raise the very same  
question: Any hints?

Thanks,
Christian
