I installed django yesterday on my Mac and it wasn't that simple. I got stuck with mysqldb-python problem. I found similar problems on the mailling list without answers. http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/16b76b7536bc3a1d/e4d222fe60d3f932?lnk=gst&q=mac+mysqldb#e4d222fe60d3f932
I think other mac user will find this helpful so I'll post my solution/ hack (maybe a note on the installation page would be nice too). These problem are only repported when using python 2.5 and up. Config : Mac OS X.4 Python 2.5.1 Mysql 5.0.51 Problem 1. While installing mysqldb-pythohn The setup script will not find the config_mysql file. So you have to edit the setup_posix.py file and set de mysql_config.path. mysql_config.path = "/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config" Problem 2. While starting django The mysqldb-python has a bug since the last upgrade, 4 months old, that look for mysql's libraries at the wrong place. The script is looking for /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql (note the extra mysql). That folder doesn't exist. Some people on the net suggest to create a directory and copy the file into it. Well, I prefer just to symlink. To make it work you'll have to do this : $ cd /usr/local/mysql/lib $ sudo ln -s . mysql Now reinstall mysqldb-python You're done.
