Hi,

I've been trying to install MySQL-python-0.9.2 on Solaris 8 and to begin with I got this:

cc -xO3 -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/include/mysql -I/usr/local/include/mysql -I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql -I/usr/local/include/python2.1 -c _mysql.c -o build/temp.solaris-2.8-sun4u-2.1/_mysql.o -fPIC
unable to execute cc: No such file or directory

Having tried to link cc to gcc and alias cc to gcc (both of which failed), I adjusted setup.cfg with the lines:

[build]
compiler = gcc

and was greeted with the new error

distutils.errors.DistutilsPlatformError: don't know how to compile C/C++ code on platform 'posix' with 'gcc' compiler

Anybody got any ideas about how I might fix this?

Many thanks in advance.
