Various BOINC tools depend on a Python extension module called "MySQLdb". You
|
|
can get the source here:
|
|
|
|
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python
|
|
|
|
WARNING: currently (2003/08/28) BOINC requires version 0.9.2 of
|
|
Python-MySQLdb, however this could be backported to 0.9.1 in the future as
|
|
many Linux distributions seem to have 0.9.1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Lines beginning with "$" indicate example commands to type in bourne shell.
|
|
|
|
Lines beginning with "#" indicate example commands to type with write access
|
|
to the install location (i.e. su or sudo)
|
|
|
|
Lines beginning with ">>> " indicate example commands to type in Python.
|
|
|
|
The `shared module' options build a shared library for the Python-MySQLdb
|
|
module that is loaded at Python run-time. This requires that you have a
|
|
shared version of the MySQL client library installed, i.e. libmysqlclient.so.
|
|
|
|
Debian Linux: shared module
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
1. Install
|
|
# apt-get install python-mysqldb
|
|
|
|
[ 2003/07: if you have multiple Python versions installed you may want to do
|
|
# apt-get install python2.2-mysqldb
|
|
or
|
|
# apt-get install python2.3-mysqldb
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
Red Hat Linux: shared module
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
1. Download MySQL-python
|
|
$ wget http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mysql-python/MySQL-python2-0.9.2-1.i386.rpm
|
|
|
|
2. Install
|
|
# rpm -i MySQL-python2-0.9.2-1.i386.rpm
|
|
|
|
Other Unix/Linux: shared module
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
1. Download MySQL-python
|
|
$ wget http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mysql-python/MySQL-python-0.9.2.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
2. Unpack
|
|
$ gunzip -c MySQL-python-0.9.2.tar.gz | tar xf -
|
|
|
|
3. Build
|
|
$ cd MySQL-python-0.9.2
|
|
$ python setup.py build
|
|
|
|
4. Install
|
|
# python setup.py install
|
|
|
|
Unix/Linux: compiled statically into Python
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
1. Download MySQL-python
|
|
$ wget http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mysql-python/MySQL-python-0.9.2.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
2. Unpack
|
|
$ gunzip -c MySQL-python-0.9.2.tar.gz | tar xf -
|
|
|
|
3. Download Python
|
|
$ wget http://python.org/ftp/python/2.3/Python-2.3.tgz
|
|
|
|
4. Unpack
|
|
$ gunzip -c Python-2.3.tgz | tar xf -
|
|
|
|
5. Copy MySQL files
|
|
$ cp MySQL-python-0.9.2/{*.c,*.h} Python-2.3/Modules/
|
|
$ cp MySQL-python-0.9.2/_mysql_exceptions.py Python-2.3/Lib/
|
|
$ cp -r MySQL-python-0.9.2/MySQLdb Python-2.3/Lib/
|
|
|
|
8. Enter the MySQL module in the Python extension setup file.
|
|
$ cd Python-2.3/
|
|
$ perl -wpi.bak -e "s,^_sre _sre.c,_mysql _mysql.c `mysql_config --cflags` `mysql_config --libs`\n$&," Modules/Setup
|
|
(This adds the line '_mysql _msql.c [flags]' to Modules/Setup)
|
|
|
|
$ perl -wpi.bak -e 's,^LIBSUBDIRS=\s+,$&MySQLdb ,' Makefile.pre.in
|
|
(This adds MySQLdb to the list of libraries to install)
|
|
|
|
7. Configure python
|
|
$ cd Python-2.3/
|
|
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
|
|
[or whatever path you want instead of /usr/local]
|
|
|
|
8. Build
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
Troubleshooting:
|
|
If you get undefined symbols or other compile errors in
|
|
_mysql.c you probably didn't add the correct include
|
|
directory for mysql. If you get unresolved symbols or other
|
|
link errors involving _mysql.o or libmysql.a you probably
|
|
didn't add the correct libraries.
|
|
|
|
You may want to check Python and MySQLdb are working before installing
|
|
by running ./python; see below for instructions.
|
|
|
|
9. Install
|
|
$ cd ../Python-2.3/
|
|
# make install
|
|
|
|
Windows: pre-built binary
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
There is a built python executable available at the URL listed.
|
|
|
|
Does it work?
|
|
=============
|
|
You can check if your Python and/or MySQLdb was compiled and installed
|
|
correctly like this:
|
|
|
|
$ python
|
|
>>> import MySQLdb
|
|
>>> MySQLdb.version_info
|
|
>>> MySQLdb.connect(db='databasename', user='username')
|
