I am getting problems with: python setup.py build when trying to install MySQLdb for python.

Here is an extract of the errors printed out:-

<unknown>                           0xd8        /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient_r.a(my_getwd.o)
<unknown>                           0xe0        /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient_r.a(my_getwd.o)
fdopen                              0x260       /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient_r.a(my_fopen.o)
fclose                              0x178       /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient_r.a(my_fopen.o)
memchr                              0xc         /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient_r.a(strnlen.o)
ld: fatal: relocations remain against allocatable but non-writable sections
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

I am installing on Solaris 2.8 with Python 2.2.2, MySQL 4.0.12, and MySQLdb 0.9.2

I would greatly appreciate any help with this as I am totally stumped!
