Now search for mysqlclient_r.so or mysqlclient_r.a (probably in rpmmysql/usr/lib. A mysqlclient.so (without _r meaning without support for threading) will do as well if you use Python as a CGI program. Now enter the directory where you found mysqlclient to setup.py library_dirs = ['<your dir>'] If you found both .so and .a, rm the .so. The linker will then link the static library .a and you can copy the resulting _mysql.so everywhere. If there is only an .so, be sure to copy the mysqlclient*.so to the server together with _mysql.so. You probably have to inspect the environment in your CGI run for LD_LIBRARY_PATH for a directory where you can copy mysqlclient*.so. (That's why it is easier to use the static library) Daniel -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
