Some may consider this slightly off-topic, but I'm out of places to turn to, so I'm hoping someone here can help me.
I am having no luck with getting the python module MySQLdb to work on my Mac. I am getting the dreaded 'wrong architecture' message when I try to import the module. I googled this, and found this page: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3061277/python-mysql-wrong-architecture-error Following the instructions there I found that I did indeed have the 64 bit MySQL and a 32 bit python. I rectified that by deleting the 64-bit install and then installing the 32-bit. Here's confirmation of that: $ python -c 'import platform; print platform.platform()' Darwin-9.8.0-i386-32bit $ ls -l /usr/local/mysql lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 24 Jan 8 22:09 /usr/local/mysql -> mysql-5.5.19-osx10.5-x86 I rebuilt and reinstalled, but no joy. I added the env vars to my .profile as suggested on that web page: PATH="/usr/local/mysql/bin:${PATH}" export PATH export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mysql/lib/ export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_64_BIT=no export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT=yes export ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" Sourced my .profile, rebuilt and reinstalled, same error. I'm thinking that perhaps something from the build I did when I had I the 64-bit MySQL is getting left behind and messing up the new build. But I don't know what that could be. Any help anyone could provide will be greatly appreciated. Below I've pasted the error I get, as well as the output from the build and install: $ python Python 2.6.7 (r267:88850, Jan 7 2012, 13:37:49) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5490)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import MySQLdb Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "build/bdist.macosx-10.4-i386/egg/MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 19, in <module> File "build/bdist.macosx-10.4-i386/egg/_mysql.py", line 7, in <module> File "build/bdist.macosx-10.4-i386/egg/_mysql.py", line 6, in __bootstrap__ ImportError: dlopen(/Users/user/.python-eggs/MySQL_python-1.2.3-py2.6-macosx-10.4-i386.egg-tmp/_mysql.so, 2): no suitable image found.
