MySQLdb Python connector building and installation command 'gcc-4.2' failed with exit status 255

Question

I'm running Mac Lion. I've installed python 2.7.2 and django 1.3.1. Both of them work fine. To make python work with mysql, I have to install MySQL-python-1.2.3 -- but I can't get the build to work. For the MySQL, I have XAMPP and I've set XAMPP's bin to the system environment path for the mysql_config the building needs.

I'm not sure if this is right but I also tried sudo env ARCHFLAGS='-arch x86_64' python setup.py build as I noticed that -arch ppc is being mentioned in the error message. However, I'm still getting the same errors. Also there might be something about No such file or directory errors? I have XCode 4 installed.

Answer 1

You need the mysql-devel package installed as well. Always watch for the .h extension files. If you see errors because of them it means the developer package isn't installed and what you ware compiling requires it.

Since you are on a Mac, you'll need the uncompiled source files for MySQL so that it can access those header files. You can grab it here: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mirror.php?id=405008

You will likely have to tell the build command where those files are located. Try python ./setup.py --help
