Install MySQL-python-0.9.1

[Cathy Hui]

I am trying to install MySQL-Python 0.9.1 on my Solaris 8 system. The
system has Python 2.3.3 and Mysql 4.0.21 installed.

This is where I downloaded the distribution of the Mysql-python
package:

http://www.ravenbrook.com/project/p.../MySQL-python-0.9.1/MySQL-python-0.9.1.tar.gz

I have been doing whatever instructed from the README file.

i.e.

change the setup.py according to what OS I'm using:

elif sys.platform == "sunos5": # Solaris 2.8
include_dirs = ['/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql']
library_dirs = ['/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql']
libraries = [mysqlclient, "z"]
runtime_library_dirs =
['/usr/local/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/dt/lib']
extra_objects = []

Then run the setup.py script with Python, here is the problem.

I am encountering the following issue when running the setup.py script.
Do u know why is that? Thanks!

python setup.py build

You're wasting your time. Use MySQL-python-1.2.0.
