Re: Doing the basic tutorial, MySQL-python problems.

I ran:

sudo find / -name 'mysql_config'

and it didn't find it. Using the same search, I did find something from my home dir, so it seems that it's not actually installed, or rather.. argh. I've attempted every "this is how to install MySQL-python method I could find on the web, and it either fails to install or says it's already installed, but the damn server can't see it.

I've switched it to a sqlite database for now, but this is pissing me off...

If the program mysql_config is installed on your box, it may be installed in a directory that is not on your path.  If you can find it on your box (try the locate and find commands), you can add the directory to your PATH by hand before running pip (or easy_install).  It only needs to be there for the runnings of pip that instiall or update MySQL-python so you don't need to add the directory permanently.  (An alternative is a symbolic link to it in some directory that is on your path, such as maybe /usr/local/bin - though this is slightly less certain to work, depending on how clever mysql_config is - I don't use MySQL, so I don't know for sure.)

I'm trying to do the "Writing Your first Django App" tutorial, and Django can't see MySQL-python, though it is installed globally.

I'm not sure if this is a virtualenv problem or what.



Outside of virtualenv:

jimmy@lilly ~/mysite $ sudo pip install MySQL-python
