[Pythonmac-SIG] Install MySQLdb module on mac os x

[Dieter Gyselinck]

Hi,

     I'm trying to install the python MySQLdb module on os x 10.2 but 
when I try to run 'setup.py build' I get this error message :
ld: can't locate file for: -lmysqlclient
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

I have installed binary mysql-3.23.52 package and it seems to be 
working fine, I can access my db via php.  I am trying to run the 
MySQL-python-0.9.2 setup.  I have changed 'thread_safe_library' to 'NO' 
but that does not solve the problem.  Anyone can help me out with this 
problem???

This is the output when I run setup.py build :
