installation problem on HP-UX

[iooi]

hi,

MySQLdb doesn't work when imporing in python, and there is no MySQLdb.py* in python dir.. Below is installation output, can anyone confirm if it successed ?

There is no MySQLdb.py; MySQLdb is a module, so it will be a directory containing init.py. But since it builds as a egg, you should be seeing /usr/local/lib/hpux32/python/site-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.4-hp-ux-B.11.23-ia64.egg. egg files are really sort of .zip files. setuptools/easy_install makes this findable by python. Does your system have more than one version of python installed?

If you can also try installing like this if eggs aren't working for you:

python setup.py install --install-lib /usr/local/lib/hpux32/python/site-packages/ --old-and-unmanagable

Why are you using --install-lib anyway? You shouldn't have to do that.

Thanks for your reply, Andy!

the reason for --install-lib is that it complains the default install path not valid for .pth file or some error like that, though i tried some other install options, i can't tell the exact error since i am now at home and not with the machine..

but i finally found a workaround by copying build/lib..../MySQLdb/ and _mysql* to python directory.

yes, there is MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.4-hp-ux-B.11.23-ia64.egg, i don't have exp with python and .egg. So could you let me know how to use easy_install to uncompress/install this file? thanks!!

:)

Setuptools documentation is here:

oh, BTW, the error message metions "--insatll-dir" option, but 1.2.2 install help doesn't have this option now, so i guess it is obsolete and need to update.
