Fell on this on a FreeBSD box

$ locate libmysqlclient

should find something like...

/usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.10

but perhaps somewhere else for you.

Just cd to a place of your ld path (/usr/local/lib/mysql may be a good
place)

$ ln -s /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.10 libmysqlclient.so

If "locate" doesn't find anything, you must install MySQL client package
before building MySQL-python.
