EnvironmentError：找不到mysql_config,同时安装MySQL-python

有人可以建议我做什么？我从我这边做了以下事情：

使用pip安装时出错：

  ubuntu12.04@ubuntu12.04:~$sudo pip install MySQL-python
    Downloading/unpacking MySQL-python
    Downloading MySQL-python-1.2.4.zip (113kB): 113kB downloaded
    Running setup.py egg_info for package MySQL-python

    libs = mysql_config("libs_r")

libs = mysql_config("libs_r")

raise EnvironmentError("%s not found" % (mysql_config.path,))

  EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found

我在我的comp上运行UBUNTU 12.04 LTS.

手动安装会产生相同的错误.我试过easy_install,它也没有帮助.

我手动搜索mysql_config,我找不到它在系统文件中的任何位置.

快速搜索后我发现mysql_config属于libmysqlclient-dev.所以,我尝试使用以下方法获取这些包：

 sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev

它给出了以下输出：

  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree       
  Reading state information... Done
  Package libmysqlclient-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
  This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
  is only available from another source
  However the following packages replace it:
  mysql-server-5.5

  E: Package 'libmysqlclient-dev' has no installation candidate

我甚至从源代码下载了libmysqlclient-dev软件包并尝试手动安装它们,它给出了依赖性错误.以下是安装时的输出.

  ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Downloads$sudo dpkg -i libmysqlclient-dev_5.5.32-            0ubuntu0.12.04.1_amd64.deb 
  Selecting previously unselected package libmysqlclient-dev.
  (Reading database ... 203659 files and directories currently installed.)
   Unpacking libmysqlclient-dev (from libmysqlclient-dev_5.5.32-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_amd64.deb) ...
  dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libmysqlclient-dev:
  libmysqlclient-dev depends on libmysqlclient18 (= 5.5.32-0ubuntu0.12.04.1); however:
  Version of libmysqlclient18 on system is 5.5.33+dfsg-1.
  dpkg: error processing libmysqlclient-dev (--install):

  Processing triggers for man-db ...
  Errors were encountered while processing:
  libmysqlclient-dev

解决方法:

总结其他SO问题中提供的一些解决方案(并基于错误输出).首先,

sudo apt-get update

它的作用是什么

Used to re-synchronize the package index files from their sources. The indexes of available packages are fetched from the location(s) specified in /etc/apt/sources.list(5).

并且可以解决

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libmysqlclient-dev

如果sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev仍然无效,请运行以下命令

sudo apt-get install python-dev

sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb

最后,检查你的PATH中是否有mysql_config;必要时添加

export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/your/mysql_config

要可能解决

EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found
