• Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

When importing the mysql-python package (0.9.2) in python (2.2.2) using version

This was fine under v3.23 of MySQL.

2.Type "import MySQLdb"


Actual Results:  
>>> import MySQLdb

    import _mysql
ImportError: /usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.12: undefined symbol:

I can't reproduce this on MySQL-4.0.12 with mysql-python-0.9.2-r1.

Retested with 4.0.12 of mysql and the bug has gone.  Thanks.
