Does anyone have some recommendations on a preferred directory for installing Python so that the setup.py for  mySQLdb will not need any changes and will find the libraries needed. I am installling on Sun Solaries Intel 2.8. Python 2.1 and mySQL  3.23.40
I installed mySQL to /usr/local/src and Python to /usr/local and the mysqldb module to /usr/local. I edited the setup.py file to the find the lmysql ibraries and no errors on the build but  Python cannot  import the module, i get an error while importing  _mysql something about not finding ld.so.1 and libmysqlclient.so.10, no such file etc.
I am willing to reinstall everything exept mySQL which is running
Any ideas.
