This error broke my python-mysql installation on Mac 10.7.5. Here are the steps

  1. The installed python is 2.7.1, mysql is 64 bit for 5.6.11.
  2. The being installed python-mysql is 1.2.4, also tried 1.2.3

  3. Configurations for the installation

    1) sudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql
2) Edit the setup_posix.py and change the following mysql_config.path = "mysql_config" to mysql_config.path = "/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config" 
3) sudo python setup.py build

Here is the stacktrace for build

Welcome your suggestions and ideas. Thanks.

Try to Remove cflags -Wno-null-conversion -Wno-unused-private-field in 

/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config.

like:

cflags="-I$pkgincludedir  -Wall   -Os -g -fno-strict-aliasing -DDBUG_OFF -arch x86_64 " #note: end space!

    Removed them, the installation succeeds. A new error thrown, “Python mysqldb: Library not loaded: libmysqlclient.18.dylib” resolved with this thread http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6383310/python-mysqldb-library-not-loaded-libmysqlclient-18-dylib – Joseph Apr 22 '13 at 07:31
  • This solved my problem as well trying to get mysql2 gem installed. I looked in gems/mysql2-0.3.11/ext/mysql/mkmf.log and found the same error. Removing -Wno-null-conversion and -Wno-unused-private-field made it work w/o issues. Now I just wish I knew what they did... Also, since I used homebrew to install mysql, my mysql_config was in: /usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.6.12/bin/mysql_config – JT. Jun 27 '13 at 15:37

Wow, I've been spending a couple of hours on thistrying to 'pip install MySQL-python'. I have been re-installing Xcode 4.6.3, the Xcode command line tools seperatly (on Mac OS X 10.7.5), and installing Kenneth Reitz' stuff (https://github.com/kennethreitz/osx-gcc-installer) to no avail while I was ...

Altering the cflags options finally helped!

Thanks!
