Greetings ....
I'm using a commercial web host running FreeBSD
that fortunately has Python and MySQL,
but no python-mysqldb module ....
Before begging the host to install it
I thought I would try the Debian version
that I have on the outside chance
that it might fly directly under FreeBSD
on the server ....
import MySQLdb .... leads to the ImportError message ....
Shared object "libpthread.so. 0" not found,
required by "_mysql.so"
On my local Debian installation the reference
to that particular library file is actually
a symbolic link ....
libpthread.so.0 -> libpthread-0.10.so
I copied libpthread-0.10.so over to the server
in a directory that is in the Python search path
and renamed it to libpthread.so.0 ....
I tried to make the symbolic link as above
from Python since I don't have a shell account,
but it failed for some reason that I don't recall
at the moment ....
After a bit of google-izing and a quick scan
of the MySQL install docs, I also set
the LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable
to point to the dir where the supposed missing
file lives ....
Is there any at all chance that this will work
with the proper configs or should I go ahead
and beg the host for an installation ?
Any clues would be greatly appreciated ....
