Greetings .... I'm using a commercial web host running FreeBSD that fortunately has Python and MySQL, but no python-mysqldb module ....
Before begging the host to install it I thought I would try the Debian version that I have on the outside chance that it might fly directly under FreeBSD on the server .... import MySQLdb .... leads to the ImportError message .... Shared object "libpthread.so.0" not found, required by "_mysql.so" On my local Debian installation the reference to that particular library file is actually a symbolic link .... libpthread.so.0 -> libpthread-0.10.so I copied libpthread-0.10.so over to the server in a directory that is in the Python search path and renamed it to libpthread.so.0 .... I tried to make the symbolic link as above from Python since I don't have a shell account, but it failed for some reason that I don't recall at the moment .... After a bit of google-izing and a quick scan of the MySQL install docs, I also set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable to point to the dir where the supposed missing file lives .... Is there any at all chance that this will work with the proper configs or should I go ahead and beg the host for an installation ? Any clues would be greatly appreciated .... -- Stanley C.
