I fixed my own problem. The version of MySQL that I installed from source appended an extra directory (mysql) to the include and lib directories. I modified my Setup to reflect the full paths below. /usr/web/databases/mysql/include/mysql /usr/web/databases/mysql/lib/mysql I then ran into a problem where I could not import MySQL from python. I kept getting; ImportError: libmysqlclient.so.6 Turns out I had to modify /etc/ld.so.conf to reflect the full path to the libmysqlclient.so.6 object, then run ldconfig, then I could import MySQL into python.....
