With an error like that it seems possible you've installed a mismatched 
version of MySQLdb on your web server. Servers are frequently not 
running the latest version of Python - did you just copy the extension 
fro your desktop machine to the server?

Your output implies that there's only one directory on the path - could 
it be that you've overwritten sys.path, making all Python modules invisible?

Other possibilities include a different server environment, but a 
segfault is a pretty serious indication of error, so I'd make sure 
everything is version matched before you look elsewhere.
