Hello,
I need to install MySQLdb on a svn-server for Trac. But installation needs mysql_config binary in order to install correctly.
On my svn-server I havent' MySQL installed. For Trac Installation/Configuration I want to use a remote MySQL-server.
Can I use the mysql_config of my mysql-server ? or must i install the same mysql version on my the svn-server in order to have the good binary in local ?
Thanks
Ok thanks it's works. I have also installed MySQL on the svn-server.
I had the same problem and finally discovered that I could install the debian package libmysqlclient15-dev in order to get mysql_config without having MySQL Server or Client installed.
I am using the Ubuntu Hardy Heron distribution.
mruedy is correct. You'll need at least some amount of MySQL installed on your machine to get the python module compiled. Many distributions divide MySQL into separate packages, named with suffixes like "devel" or "clients". You'll need these on your Trac server to be able to compile and use the module.
If your distribution does not divide such things up, remember that you can do a full installation of MySQL and simply not run the mysqld daemon.
