Re: Error importing MySQLdb on Solaris 8/9

[Scott Hopkins]

All, thanks in advance for the help, but I'm getting an error when importing MySQLdb that I haven't been able to find on any forums, or determine the cause of. Any assistance would be appreciated.

example script

!/usr/local/bin/python2.4

import sys
sys.path.append('/home/hops01/src/python/2.4/lib/python')
import MySQLdb
sys.exit

Error Message

hops01$ /home/hops01/bin/mysql_test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/hops01/bin/mysql_test.py", line 6, in ?

File "/home/hops01/src/python/2.4/lib/python/MySQLdb/init.py", line 19, in ?
import _mysql

Apparently something went wrong with your build. Remove the build directory and try again and examine the output carefully for errors. Either that or your MySQL libraries may not be on the default path.
