I am trying to install the python module mysqldb which is the python interface for mysql. I need this module because I am creating a Django development server (Django 1.4, OpenSUSE) and the database package I wish to use is mysql. This is the tutorial I am following: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/databases/#mysql-notes
I am using virtualenv, and inside my virtual environment I am executing this command:
$ pip install mysql-python
My first error was that the 'mysql_config' command was not found. After some reading I went into yast to install 'libmysqlclient-devel' which is defined as 'MariaDB development header files and libraries'. I do not have MariaDB installed, just mysql. I don't know if this will make a difference. After installing that, I type the same command and now have this error:
$ pip install mysql-python
unable to execute gcc: No such file or directory
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
I have no idea what this is. Before I came here I read some things about python-dev tools but I can't find any package for that in yast or any modules in pip search. Anyone know what this error means?
