Question

I followed the installation instructions for installing oursql on Mac OS X. Since

sudo pip install oursql

told me, that it couldn’t find mysql_config I (located it with locate mysql_config and) told it where to find it by

sudo MYSQL_CONFIG=/usr/local/mysql-5.5.14-osx10.6-x86_64/bin/mysql_config pip install oursql

I added the terminal output at the bottom for readability reasons. After that I fired up python in terminal (On Mac OS Lion it is python 2.7 now,…) and did

>>> import oursql

but python keeps telling me:

>>> import oursql
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/oursql.so, 2): Library not loaded: libmysqlclient.18.dylib
  Referenced from: /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/oursql.so
  Reason: image not found

What do I miss? Any suggestions?

This did the job:

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/mysql/lib/"
