Thanks for the great tips! After following the guide that you provided, I ran into the same problem as joel.

I finally got it to work this morning, by using the older version of MySQLdb (1.2.1). Seems that there is no way (at least none that I found) to fix this with version 1.2.2.

This is one of the more frustrating builds I’ve come across in recent memory…
Everything build fine but it still doesn’t work…
I keep getting the following error

{{{
ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module: dlopen(/var/tmp/.python_eggs/MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg-tmp/_mysql.so, 2): no suitable image found. Did find:
/var/tmp/.python_eggs/MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg-tmp/_mysql.so: no matching architecture in universal wrapper
}}}

any ideas?
