building on Mac osx

[Don]

Greetings,
I am trying to build on Mac OS X, but am getting the following error:

cc -flat_namespace -bundle -undefined suppress build/temp.darwin-5.5-Power Macintosh-2.1/_mysql.o -L/usr/lib/mysql -L/usr/local/lib/mysql -L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -L/usr/local/mysql-3.23.51/lib -L/sw/lib -lmysqlclient_r -lz -o build/lib.darwin-5.5-Power Macintosh-2.1/_mysql.so -flat_namespace

/usr/bin/ld: warning -L: directory name (/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql) does not exist
/usr/bin/ld: warning -L: directory name (/sw/lib) does not exist
/usr/bin/ld: can't locate file for: -lmysqlclient_r
error: command 'cc' failed with exit status 1

I have altered the setup.py script to point to my MySQL lib and include directories, and am unable to find the file lmysqlclient_r.

My MySQL is a pkg from Mark Liyanage, from http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/

Do I need to have fink installed?

Any help appreciated.

Modify setup.py such that:

thread_safe_libarary = NO

Thanks for the help. All working now.

Now that you mention it, I did see the thread safe bit in the docs. Just forgot it.

And for anyone else with the marc Liyanage build of MySQL, you also need     '/usr/local/mysql-3.23.51/include' and     '/usr/local/mysql-3.23.51/lib' in the include_dirs and lib_dirs

Hi...

I'm getting a similar problem, but have turned the threadsafe library off:

running build_ext
building '_mysql' extension

Any suggestions?
