[Distutils] easy_install MySQL_python error

[Christian Brodbeck]

Hi there,

I am trying to install MySQL_python, but I get the following error:  
"EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found" (complete terminal readout  
below). I am using python 2.5 and the latest version of os X on a  
macbook. I could not find anything in the mailinglist archive (using  
google's site: search - is there a better way to search it?) and  
easy_install page advises to write to this mailinglist if there are  
problems, so I was wondering if anyone could help.

Thanks,
Christian
