copied!<p>I think there might be slight quirks with doing this on Mac 64-bit (and if you google this problem shows up a lot too).</p> <p>I've run into it, and there are a couple things you can do:</p> <h3>Override the environment</h3> <p>You can change the <code>DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> environment variable, which tells the linker where to look for dynamic libraries (.so files and such). You said you also downloaded the 64-bit version of MySQL, so where ever it's installed, change the path you see here:</p> <p>In a shell: </p> <p><code>export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mysql/lib/</code></p> <p>And then run <code>python</code> and see if you can <code>import MySQLdb</code>.</p> <p>If that works, you can make this permanent by altering your shell profile (<code>.bash_profile</code>, most likely).</p> <h3>Use homebrew</h3> <p>I don't really like mucking around with making sure MySQL and Python and all that are correct architectures and installing them separately. I run <a href="http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/" rel="noreferrer"><code>homebrew</code></a>, which is a sort of package manager for Mac. If you install that, you can pretty easily take care of this issue:</p> <ul> <li><code>brew install python</code></li> <li><code>brew install mysql</code></li> <li><code>/usr/local/share/python/easy_install mysql-python</code></li> </ul> <p>Do note that homebrew installs into <code>/usr/local</code>, so you should add <code>/usr/local/bin</code> to your <code>PATH</code>, ahead of <code>/usr/bin</code> and <code>/bin</code>, otherwise you'll get really confused why <code>python</code> is different.</p> <p>You can add <code>/usr/local/share/python</code> to your <code>PATH</code> as well, to make it permanent.</p>
