Hello all,

I've been trying to get mysqldb to compile on Leopard so I can use 
Django with a database. As I'm sure most of you know, mysqldb has some 
issues compiling on Leopard, and even after trying all the "fixes" on 
the blogs, I cannot seem to get it to compile. I'm using the MAMP 
package as my Apache + MySQL setup and mysqldb doesn't like the location 
of mysql_config even when I point the config file to the proper 
location. I've tried just about everything I can to get it to work and 
I'm consistently coming up empty. I did however, notice that mysqldb is 
available as a binary on pythonmac.org, which is exactly what I need. 
However, I am running Python 2.5 and the binary is for Python 2.4. I was 
hoping, is there some kind soul out there that can compile mysqldb into 
a binary for Python 2.5? I would be forever grateful!

Garrett
