Hi, I'm doing a small project work on MAC OS X using python and MySQL. I have downloaded the pyhton from python.org and mysql from mysql.com. I have also downloaded mysql-python 1.2.2from sourceforge.net.I have modified thesetup_posix.py and _mysql.c as given in the net. When I was restarted it shows an error.

Hi, I solved the problem of gcc error. Follow the steps. 1)first install the gcc 4.0, developer from xcode. 2)then download the pyshell from sourceforge.net 3)extract the pyshell 4)copy the pyshell into Library->Frameworks- >Python.framework... 5) open pyshell.py and close it. Mysqldb was installed on your mac... Thank You, Warm Regards... Srinivas
