Thanks to Tres and Ned for the quick help, installing form macports did get me a step further. Now it's having another problem which I can't find a solution for (readout below), but that probably belongs to the macports mailing list.

Cheers!
Christian

I am trying to install MySQL_python, but I get the following error:
"EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found" (complete terminal readout
below). I am using python 2.5 and the latest version of os X on a
macbook. I could not find anything in the mailinglist archive (using
google's site: search - is there a better way to search it?) and
easy_install page advises to write to this mailinglist if there are
problems, so I was wondering if anyone could help.

Likely you need to arrange for the 'mysql_config' utility to be on the PATH when you run the script: if the utility doesn't exist, that would
indicate that you need to install the MySQL client libraries for your
system.

Also, from the /opt/local/Library path in the traceback, it appears that
you're using the MacPorts python2.5.  If you don't need the absolutely
latest MySQL_python, you should be able to install everything you need
using MacPorts:

  sudo port install py25-mysql

That should pull in all the dependencies, including the necessary MySQL
client libs.
