I've been looking around for a solution to this, and there seem to be a lot of different solutions, but none seem to be working.

I'm using MySQL-Python to try to get MySQL set up with python. But, when I try to run 

sudo python setup.py build

I get the following error:

    "a lot of different solutions, but none seem to be working". Please be specific. What ones have you tried? What happened? – S.Lott Feb 26 '12 at 00:10
  • http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8473066/gcc-4-2-failed-with-exit-status-1, Same error followed – varatis Feb 26 '12 at 17:02
  • Also http://justcramer.com/2007/11/05/mysqldb-on-leopard/, but I didn't even find the lines they were talking about, and the error didn't seem to be exactly the same – varatis Feb 26 '12 at 17:05
  • @S.Lott all the other solutions seem to be variations on those two – varatis Feb 26 '12 at 17:31

I had the same problem. After a few hours of struggling, I've used ActivePython (http://code.activestate.com/pypm/mysql-python/) successfully to install MySQL-python. Although it doesn't exactly solve your error, it solves the overall issue :)

  • Thanks. Yeah, I just ended up using SQLite temporarily, but I figured this is just one of those times when you have to try to install something different. – varatis Mar 03 '12 at 21:12
