#147 setup.py build fails because no --include MySQL option

[Alexander Prikhodko]

mysql-python 1.2.0 from *.tar.gz

installing on Linux Red Hat FC3:

problem with
python setup.py build

The script is calling via pipe:
mysql_config --include

but the MySQL version 3.* installed with the OS
has ho such option!

mysql_config in FC3 default MySQL installation
supports only:
--cflags
--libs
--socket
--port
--version

Possible workaround for fedora (2,3) and MySQL 3.23.58 (
MySQL-python-1.2.1c3)

1. Run manually mysql_config
2. Take the values for cflags, libs
3. Replace variable values in setup.py
   i.e
   library_dirs = [`usr/lib/mysql'] (first from mysql --libs)
   libraries = ['mysqlclient','z','crypt','nsl','m'] (rest
   from --libs)
   extra_compile_args = ['-I/usr/include/mysql'] (mysql
   --cflags)
4. run python setup.py build again and it should work
