well, I tried doing it through source, and I don't like fink, so I tried 
it the old fashioned way.  it didn't work.  I can keep fiddling, but how 
install pil with a package manager?  Nothing on the PIL website

hah! well I did do it.  I followed the instructions for mysql install from 
here:
http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/mysql/

here are the basic instructions for MySQLdb:
	$ tar xfz MySQL-python-0.9.2.tar.gz
	$ cd MySQL-python-0.9.2
	$ python setup.py build
	$ su
	$ python setup.py install

To get it to work I had to make the following changes to setup.py
modify setup.py:
		include_dirs = [
		    '/usr/local/mysql/include'
		    ]
		library_dirs = [
		    '/usr/local/mysql/lib'
		    ]
also:
		elif sys.platform[:6] == "darwin": # Mac OS X
		    include_dirs.append('/usr/local/mysql/include')             
		    library_dirs.append('/usr/local/mysql/lib')     

and it seems work okay.  it imports anyway...yeah it works just fine. 

EXCEPT for through apache!

here is sys.path in Apache:
['/Library/WebServer/Documents', 
'//Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python23.zip', 
'//Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3', 
'//Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/plat-darwin', 
'//Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/plat-mac', 
'//Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages', 
'//Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/lib-tk', 
'//Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/lib-dynload']  

No site-packages...which is where MySQLdb lives.  How can I fix this? 


oh, and testing out MySQLdb just now I discovered I have no readline!

aaaaaaarrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhhh!

i installed it before installing the dmg of 2.3b1  How can I fix this?

you can find my complete installation instructions  at 
166.70.118.134/Install_procedure.txt  At the end of which is my little cgi 
test script.  The install_procedure.txt has my apache mods, everything i 
need to do to get a complete web system working.  this one's still under 
refinement (eg pil).


why would apache have a different python path?

thank you for your help.
