I am trying to get a Python script to run on the linux server I'm connected to via ssh. The script uses mysqldb. I have all the other components I need, but when I try to install mySQLdb via setuptools like so:,
python setup.py install
I get the following error report related to the mysql_config command.
sh: mysql_config: command not found
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 15, in <module>
metadata, options = get_config()
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/MySQL-python-1.2.3/setup_posix.py", line 43, in get_config
libs = mysql_config("libs_r")
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/MySQL-python-1.2.3/setup_posix.py", line 24, in mysql_config
raise EnvironmentError("%s not found" % (mysql_config.path,))
EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found
Has anyone else encountered this error and if so how did you resolve it/what can I do to successfully install mysqldb?
mySQLdb is a python interface for mysql, but it is not mysql itself. And apparently mySQLdb needs the command 'mysql_config', so you need to install that first.
Can you confirm that you did or did not install mysql itself, by running "mysql" from the shell? That should give you a response other than "mysql: command not found".
Which linux distribution are you using? Mysql is pre-packaged for most linux distributions. For example, for debian / ubuntu, installing mysql is as easy as
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
mysql-config is in a different package, which can be installed from (again, assuming debian / ubuntu):
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
if you are using mariadb, the drop in replacement for mysql, then run
sudo apt-get install libmariadbclient-dev

I was installing python-mysql on Ubuntu 12.04 using
pip install mysql-python
First I had the same problem:
Not Found "mysql_config"
This worked for me
$ sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
Then I had this problem:
...
_mysql.c:29:20: error fatal: Python.h: No existe el archivo o el directorio
compilación terminada.
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
Then I tried with
apt-get install python-dev
(If you're using python3, install python3-dev instead.)
And then I was happy :)
pip install mysql-python

Cleaning up...
(Specific to Mac OS X)
I have tried a lot of things, but these set of commands finally worked for me.
Install mysql
brew install mysql
brew unlink mysql
brew install mysql-connector-c
Add the mysql bin folder to PATH
export PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/8.0.11/bin:$PATH
mkdir /usr/local/Cellar/lib/
Create a symlink
sudo ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/mysql/8.0.11/lib/libmysqlclient.21.dylib /usr/local/Cellar/lib/libmysqlclient.21.dylib
brew reinstall openssl (source)
Finally, install mysql-client
LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/ pip install mysqlclient
Update:
In case this doesn't work, #vinyll suggests to run brew link mysql before step 8.
On Red Hat I had to do
sudo yum install mysql-devel gcc gcc-devel python-devel
sudo easy_install mysql-python
Then it worked.
On python 3.5.2 + any future version
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev python-dev
The below worked for me on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev python-dev
All though it worked, i still went ahead to do the below:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin/
I got the same error while trying to install mysql-python.
This is how I fixed it.
sudo PATH=/usr/local/mysql/bin/:$PATH pip install mysql-python
The problem was that the installer could not find the mysql_config in the default path. Now it can ..and it worked..
15 warnings generated.

Cleaning up...
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
I fixed this problem with the following steps:
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
sudo apt-get install python-dev
sudo python setup.py install
The commands (mysql too) mPATH might be missing.
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin/
Step1:-Install Python3 & Python3-dev Both
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-dev
Step2:- Install Python & Mysql Connector
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
step3:- Install python mysql client
sudo apt-get install mysqlclient
This will Solve your Problem
The package libmysqlclient-dev is deprecated, so use the below command to fix it.
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
sudo apt-get install default-libmysqlclient-dev
I think the most convenient way to solve this problem in 2020 is using another python package. We don't need install any other binary software.
Try this
pip install mysql-connector-python
and then
import mysql.connector
mydb = mysql.connector.connect(
host="",
user="",
passwd="",
database=""
)
cursor = mydb.cursor( buffered=True)
cursor.execute('show tables;')
cursor.execute('insert into test values (null, "a",10)')
mydb.commit()
mydb.disconnect()
If you're on macOS and already installed mysql#5.7 via brew install:
brew install mysql-connector-c
brew unlink mysql#5.7
brew link --overwrite --dry-run mysql#5.7 first, to see what symlinks are getting overwritten
brew link --overwrite --force mysql#5.7 to actually overwrite mysql-related symlinks with mysql#5.7
pip install mysqlclient
I fixed it by installing libmysqlclient:
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient16-dev
In centos 7 this works for me :
yum install mariadb-devel
pip install mysqlclient
The MySQL-python package is using the mysql_config command to learn about the mysql configuration on your host. Your host does not have the mysql_config command.
The MySQL development libraries package (MySQL-devel-xxx) from dev.mysql.com provides this command and the libraries needed by the MySQL-python package. The MySQL-devel packages are found in the download - community server area. The MySQL development library package names start with MySQL-devel and vary based MySQL version and linux platform (e.g. MySQL-devel-5.5.24-1.linux2.6.x86_64.rpm.)
Note that you do not need to install mysql server.
For Alpine Linux:
$ apk add mariadb-dev mariadb-client mariadb-libs
MariaDB is a drop-in replacement for MySQL and became the new standard as of Alpine 3.2. See https://bugs.alpinelinux.org/issues/4264
On my Fedora 23 machine I had to run the following:
sudo dnf install mysql-devel
In CentOS 7 , the following things should be done:
#step1:install mysql
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-yum-repo-quick-guide/en/
#step2:
sudo yum install mysql-devel
or
sudo yum install mysql-community-devel
I think, following lines can be executed on terminal
sudo ln -s /usr/local/zend/mysql/bin/mysql_config /usr/sbin/
This mysql_config directory is for zend server on MacOSx. You can do it for linux like following lines
sudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config /usr/sbin/
This is default linux mysql directory.
I had this issues and solved if by adding a symlink to mysql_config.
I had installed mysql with homebrew and saw this in the output.
Error: The `brew link` step did not complete successfully
Depending on how you got mysql it will be in different places. In my case /usr/local/Cellar/mysql
Once you know where it is you should be able to ma a symbolic link to where python is looking for it. /usr/local/mysql
This worked for me.
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/mysql/<< VERSION >>/bin/mysql_config /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
I had the same problem. I solved it by following this tutorial to install Python with python3-dev on Ubuntu 16.04:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y upgrade
sudo apt-get install -y python3-pip
sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python3-dev
And now you can set up your virtual environment:
sudo apt-get install -y python3-venv
pyvenv my_env
source my_env/bin/activate
also, i fetch the same problem
I fixed this problem with the following steps:
First I run this command
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
then I install
pip install mysqlclient==2.1.0
this is worked for me
You need to install the python-dev package:
sudo apt-get install python-dev
sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb
Python 2.5? Sounds like you are using a very old version of Ubuntu Server (Hardy 8.04?) - please confirm which Linux version the server uses.
python-mysql search on ubuntu package database
Some additional info:
From the README of mysql-python -
Red Hat Linux
.............
MySQL-python is pre-packaged in Red Hat Linux 7.x and newer. This
includes Fedora Core and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. You can also
build your own RPM packages as described above.
Debian GNU/Linux
................
Packaged as python-mysqldb_::
# apt-get install python-mysqldb
Or use Synaptic.
.. _python-mysqldb: http://packages.debian.org/python-mysqldb
Ubuntu
......
Same as with Debian.
Footnote: If you really are using a server distribution older than Ubuntu 10.04 then you are out of official support, and should upgrade sooner rather than later.
This method is only for those who know that Mysql is installed but still mysql_config can't be find. This happens if python install can't find mysql_config in your system path, which mostly happens if you have done the installation via .dmg Mac Package or installed at some custom path. The easiest and documented way by MySqlDB is to change the site.cfg. Find the mysql_config which is probably in /usr/local/mysql/bin/ and change the variable namely mysql_config just like below and run the installation again. Don't forget to un-comment it by removing "#"
Change below line
"#mysql_config = /usr/local/bin/mysql_config"
to
"mysql_config = /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config"
depending upon the path in your system.
By the way I used python install after changing the site.cfg
sudo /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python setup.py install
So far, all solutions (Linux) require sudo or root rights to install .
Here is a solution if you do not have root rights and without sudo. (no sudo apt install ...):
Download the .deb file of the libmysqlclient-dev, e.g. from this mirror
Navigate to the downloaded file and run dpkg -x libmysqlclient-dev_<version tag>.deb . This will extract a folder called usr.
Symlink ./usr/bin/mysql_config to somewhere that is found on your $PATH:
ln -s `pwd` /usr/bin/mysql_config FOLDER_IN_YOUR_PATH
It should now be able to find mysql_config
Tested on Ubuntu 18.04.
For macOS Mojave , additional configuration was required, for compilers to find openssl you may need to set:
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include"
I encountered the same problem, just added the path where *mysql_config* resided to the environment variable PATH and it worked for me.
sudo apt-get build-dep python-mysqldb will install all the dependencies to build the package from PIP/easy_install
I was trying to follow this guide: https://github.com/opencomputeproject/onie/blob/master/machine/kvm_x86_64/INSTALL but have gotten stuck.
On this line: make MACHINE=kvm_x86_64 all, I get stg: command not found when it is trying to apply a patch. I get Error 127 on a make command. Here's the output:
I have g++ and git installed. What am I doing wrong?
From the ONIE project wiki Building ONIE:
For a Debian-based system, a Makefile target exists that installs the required packages on your build machine. The ONIE project will maintain this target for the current stable version of Debian. This target requires the use of sudo(8), since package installation requires root privileges:
$ cd build-config
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
$ make debian-prepare-build-host
I built this on Ubuntu Desktop 15.04. For anyone else trying to build ONIE virtual machine, install these packages first:
Packages
qemu-kvm
git
stg
gperf
bison
flex
autoconf
texinfo
gawk
libtool
libtool-bin
libncurses5-dev
libexpat1
libexpat1-dev
python2.7-dev
python3.4-dev
xorriso
You can install most of these with sudo apt-get install <package>. You should be able to follow the ONIE guide now and set it up. Thanks to EtanReisner for all the help!
On Ubuntu, install stg package by,
sudo apt-get install stgit
the error stg: command not found should be resolved.
I am getting a getting an UnsatisfiedLinkError using Tess4j in Tomcat+Ubuntu(Linux)
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Error looking up function 'TessBaseAPICreate': /usr/lib/libtesseract.so.3.0.2: undefined symbol: TessBaseAPICreate

Library is installed via apt-get install tesseract-ocr, Tess4j version is 2.0.0, everything seems to work on a MacOS/OracleJDK1.7(64bits), but not in Ubuntu/Linux/OracleJDK1.7(64bits)
Some stackoverflow-search gives clues about wrong versions or library not present, but the library is right there...

Someone with a solution or a hint?
Tess4J 2.0 is compatible with Tesseract 3.03RC. Since yours is 3.02, you'd need Tess4J 1.x version.
this may be the version of tesseract is not compatible to ubuntu version
as to me my program runs in win10 and ubuntu 16 has no error ,but when in ubuntu 12.04 this error occurs
maybe I install tesseract by the command
sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr
but indeed in ubuntu 12 after i install by the flow
sudo apt-get install libpng-dev libjpeg-dev libtiff-dev zlib1g-dev
sudo apt-get install gcc g++
sudo apt-get install autoconf automake libtool checkinstall
Install Leptonica from source. The latest version as of writing is 1.69.
wget http://www.leptonica.org/source/leptonica-1.69.tar.gz (if you can't,download leptonica-1.69.tar.gz from the internet)
tar -zxvf leptonica-1.69.tar.gz
cd leptonica-1.69
./configure
make
sudo checkinstall
sudo ldconfig
Then install Tesseract OCR from source.
wget https://tesseract-ocr.googlecode.com/files/tesseract-ocr-3.02.02.tar.gz
(maybe you can download tesseract-ocr-3.02.02.tar.gz from the internet and then upload to the server )
tar -zxvf tesseract-ocr-3.02.02.tar.gz
cd tesseract-ocr
./autogen.sh
./configure
make (this may take a while)
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
after this i solve this problem
I use Debian 7.4 Wheezy. I trying to upgrade my kernel, but when I type "make menuconfig" it says:
*** Unable to find the ncurses libraries or the
*** required header files.
*** 'make menuconfig' requires the ncurses libraries.
***
*** Install ncurses (ncurses-devel) and try again.
***
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/dochecklxdialog] Error 1
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2
I trying to install "libncurses5-dev", but I get the error:
E: Unable to locate package libncurses5-dev
P.S.
I downloaded and installed the packages manually and now everything is okay!
Thanks a lot!!
You should have run (as root)
aptitude update
aptitude search libncurses
that would suggest you the right package name.
Then try
aptitude install libncurses-dev
and
aptitude install kernel-package
aptitude build-dep linux-image linux-image-amd64
At last, use make-kpkg --initrd binary to compile your kernel. (it will produce *.deb files in the parent directory). You want to configure /etc/kernel-pkg.conf and perhaps /etc/kernel-img.conf
I had the same problem. In my case installation of package libncursesw5-dev solved the issue.
make menuconfig needs ncurses libraries try following command to install ncurses library
sudo apt-get install libncurses5
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
make menuconfig
worked for me after i installed all the libaries, and added myself sudo permission, i was also using this to cross_compile stuff
# Allow members of group sudo to execute any command
%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
%b37399 ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
For Fedora(Red Hat);
$ make menuconfig
#error encountered :
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/Makefile:210: scripts/kconfig/mconf-cfg] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:588: menuconfig] Error 2
#resolution :
$ sudo yum install libncurses-dev
Thanks
Depending on the project the menuconfig could be made with the kconfiglib library:
https://pypi.org/project/kconfiglib/
For these projects it's required to:
Install Python (I tested it with Python2.7, but I think newer Pythons are just fine)
Install pip (if it's not done with Python)
And then the pip install kconfiglib
And for some projects, this will fix the error instead of the libcurses package.
Just as example here is one kconfiglib based project which prints the same error, but will not be fixed with libcurse:
https://github.com/polarfire-soc/hart-software-services
