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
