[Pythonmac-SIG] Installing Mysqldb Module on Python 2.5.1 on Mac OS X 10.5.8

[engelbert gruber]

hi,

i am new on the mac too, but somehow managed to build mysqldb

as far as i remeber, it requires a mysql installation and the new xcode.

i did not install Mysqldb but copied it into my project directory
(which now bites back: py2app packages it but python only looks in
 usr/lib/...)

did it build ?
