MySQL python installation

[chinmayee]

Hi

I am using CentOS 4 machine..trying to install MySQL for python to setup a boinc project..
During the building process I am getting this error..I have even set the LD_lIBRARY_PATH to /usr/local/lib where the libmysqlclient.so file is present..

./python -E ./setup.py build
./python: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried installing both the ways..
1. downloaded mysql for the python present and builded mysql..
2. downloaded both MySQL-python and Python and then builded both the files together..using the commands given in the link..
PythonMysql - BOINC - Trac

But getting the same error..
Please help me out asap!!

It sounds quite dirty, heck, it is dirty, but I would try making a (hope no experienced users shout at me) symlink called libmysqlclient.so.15 ...
Also, check this out,
Postfix broken after mysql upgrade
one of the guys out there said that

ln -s /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.15.0.0 usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.15

did the trick
Cheers.
