I had this same problem, i eventually abandoned building any of it manually and switched to macports: http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/862ceed6f97acf1c/eeff8aa5fb16ca0c#eeff8aa5fb16ca0c. If you read the thread no one agrees with me, but its working great for me so far. Since I'm a noob as well, it could prove a mistake down the road.
However I did fix the build problem before i abandoned it. I had to make some symbolic links so that /usr/local/mysql pointed to my actual install where mysql was installed. riuxjg:local jgreenaw$ ls -l /usr/local/mysql/ total 8 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 27 Jan 20 14:01 lib -> /opt/local/lib/ mysql5/mysql so something like this: cd /usr/local sudo ln -s opt/local/lib/mysql5/mysql mysql If you look in the build its actually looking for the _mysql.so file which is somewhere in your mysql install directory. hope it helps.
