[Pythonmac-SIG] building mysqldb on mac os x server

[Dustin Lee]

Thanks for the response.

I think I've tried that but I'll look again.  MySQL came preinstalled 
with the server edition of mac os x but, sadly, MySQLdb didn't.  Has any 
one successfully installed MySQLdb with a MySQL installation that wasn't 
installed by fink?
