在Snow Leopard上安装MySQLdb

Question

I followed this tutorial to install Django with MySQL on my Snow Lepard : http://programmingzen.com/2007/12/22/how-to-install-django-with-mysql-on-mac-os-x/

When I run this command :

python setup.py build

I get a lot of errors, the last one is :

error: command 'gcc-4.0' failed with exit status 1

These are the first lines that I get after executing the command line

running build
running build_py
copying MySQLdb/release.py -> build/lib.macosx-10.5-fat3-2.7/MySQLdb
running build_ext
building '_mysql' extension

_mysql.c:76: error: syntax error before ‘MYSQL’
_mysql.c:76: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union

Can somebody help me to fix that ?

Thank you :-)

Looks like you're missing MySQL development headers. Apple's support site has a (possible) solution: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA25017
