今天在安裝python的模組MySQLdb時，在編譯原始碼時，一直出現一個錯誤，下面是編譯資訊：

在網上找了好長時間，一直不知道什麼原因，終於找到了解決的方案：先安裝mysql-devel，mysql-devel為編譯mysql相關客戶程式所需的庫和包含檔案,如果你想要編譯其他MySQL客戶程式，就必須先安裝mysql-devel,

如果是debain系：sudoapt-get install mysql-devel

如果是redhat系：sudoyum install mysql-devel

然後正常使用：

python setup.py build

python setup.py install
