Error mysqldb 1.2.3c1 on Mac 10.5.8 Leopard

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I'm trying to install mysqldb 1.2.3c1 on my Mac OSX 10.5.8 Leopard so I can
use MySQL with Django.

I have MAMP installed on my mac, is it possible to use this version of MySQL
with MySQLdb?

Or do I have to install MySQL separately for this module to work?

I tried

python setup.py build

and I got the following error:

running build
running build_py
copying MySQLdb/release.py -> build/lib.macosx-10.5-i386-2.5/MySQLdb
running build_ext

lipo: can't open input file: /var/folders/sE/sEdFajpBFXergJVaiXZyfU+++TI/-Tmp-//ccCcrywu.out (No such file or directory)
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Update:

I did the following:

rm -r build
python setup.py clean

and re-build, got a little further but still the same damned -lmysqlclient_r

Any ideas anyone?

are you using sudo?

It looks like it can't write files to /var/folders which makes me think
permissions for the user

Monchi,

Did you find a solution for this? I am having the sam exact problem. I've
tried everything I have seen out there. And yes, I am using sudo.

Thanks,

Jeremy
