mac os 上安裝mysqldb，EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found

首先，下載MySQLdb：http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/

下載MySQL-python-1.2.5.tar.gz

解壓，運行setup.py：

python setup.py install

報錯：

sh: mysql_config: command not found
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 15, in <module>
    metadata, options = get_config()
  File "/Users/***/Downloads/MySQL-python-1.2.3/setup_posix.py", line 43, in get_config
    libs = mysql_config("libs_r")
  File "/Users/***/Downloads/MySQL-python-1.2.3/setup_posix.py", line 24, in mysql_config
    raise EnvironmentError("%s not found" % (mysql_config.path,))
EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found

參考：http://www.southsearepublic.org/article/2416/read/environmenterror_mysql_config_not_found/installing_mysqldb_for_python_on_mac_osx/

發現要修改site.cfg

mysql_config = /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config

讓mysql_config指向mysql在mac os中的安裝位置。

之後再用高權限運行

sudo python setup.py install

如果運行的時候，還有問題：

>>> import MySQLdb
/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.3-py2.7-macosx-10.7-intel.egg/_mysql.py:3: UserWarning: Module _mysql was already imported from /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.3-py2.7-macosx-10.7-intel.egg/_mysql.pyc, but /Users/***/Downloads/MySQL-python-1.2.3 is being added to sys.path
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 19, in <module>
    import _mysql

  Referenced from: /Users/***/.python-eggs/MySQL_python-1.2.3-py2.7-macosx-10.7-intel.egg-tmp/_mysql.so
  Reason: image not found

那麼就需要解決動態引入的問題了（重新做一遍，並且設置環境變量）：

$ sudo python setup.py clean

$ sudo python setup.py build

$ sudo python setup.py install

$ export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mysql/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

$python

>>> import MySQLdb
/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.3-py2.7-macosx-10.7-intel.egg/_mysql.py:3: UserWarning: Module _mysql was already imported from /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.3-py2.7-macosx-10.7-intel.egg/_mysql.pyc, but /Users/***/Downloads/MySQL-python-1.2.3 is being added to sys.path

>>> conn=MySQLdb.connect(host="localhost",user="root",passwd="root",db="mysql")
>>> cursor =conn.cursor()
>>> sql ="select * from user"
>>> cursor.execute(sql)
7L
>>> row=cursor.fetchone()
>>> print row
('localhost', 'root', '*81F5E21E35407D884A6CD4A731AEBFB6AF209E1B', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', '', '', '', '', 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, '', '')

能夠讀取mysql.user表的信息了，說明已經mysqldb已經安裝成功。

或者修改bash_profile文件

PATH="/usr/local/mysql/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mysql/lib/
export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_64_BIT=yes
export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT=no
