MySQLdb ImportError: libmysqlclient.so.18解决方法

安装MySQLdb后,import MySQLdb出错如下:


[root@lizhong MySQL-python-1.2.3]# /usr/local/bin/python2.7

Python 2.7.6 (default, Apr 10 2014, 15:45:39) 

[GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-4)] on linux2

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> import MySQLdb

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.3-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/_mysql.py:3: UserWarning: Module _mysql was already imported from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.3-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/_mysql.pyc, but /soft/MySQL-python-1.2.3 is being added to sys.path

Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: libmysqlclient.so.18: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


根据最后提示,应该是找不着一个交libmysqlclient.so.18的文件,于是到mysql安装目录里找到这个文件并且做一个软连接到/usr/lib

ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.so.18 /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.18


如果是64系统则:

ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.so.18 /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so.18


再次import MySQLdb就正常了:

[root@lizhong MySQL-python-1.2.3]# /usr/local/bin/python2.7
