mysql config缺失的解决办法：首先使用查看mysql的安装情况；然后移除已有的安装包；接着下载64bit的rpm文件；最后重新使用“rpm -ivh MySQL-devel-5.5.16-1.linux…”安装即可。

MySQL缺失mysql_config文件
问题：
工作中需要布置django-sentry日志服务器，在centos-6.4上pip install mysql-python，报错如下
[sentry@kjtest111 mysql-python]$ pip install mysql-python Downloading/unpacking mysql-python Running setup.py egg_info for package mysql-python sh: /usr/bin/mysql_config: No such file or directory Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 16, in <module> File "/tmp/pip-build-sentry/mysql-python/setup.py", line 18, in <module> metadata, options = get_config() File "setup_posix.py", line 43, in get_config libs = mysql_config("libs_r") File "setup_posix.py", line 25, in mysql_config raise EnvironmentError("%s not found" % (mysql_config.path,)) EnvironmentError: /usr/bin/mysql_config not found Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info: sh: /usr/bin/mysql_config: No such file or directory Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 16, in <module> File "/tmp/pip-build-sentry/mysql-python/setup.py", line 18, in <module> metadata, options = get_config() File "setup_posix.py", line 43, in get_config libs = mysql_config("libs_r") File "setup_posix.py", line 25, in mysql_config raise EnvironmentError("%s not found" % (mysql_config.path,)) EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found ----------------------------------------</module></module></string></module></module></string>
工作环境：centOS6.4
解决方法：
1. 通过报错信息看出是缺少mysql_config，在/usr/bin/下面应该有的mysql_config文件没有，网上的解决方案都是apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev，但是apt-get是Debian、Ubuntu系列的网络安装命令，yum是Redhat、Centos、Fedora是网络安装命令，接着发现Centos上应该安装mysql-devel
2. yum install mysql-devel，发现有冲突，报错如下：
--> Running transaction check ---> Package mysql-devel.x86_64 0:5.1.69-1.el6_4 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: mysql = 5.1.69-1.el6_4 for package: mysql-devel-5.1.69-1.el6_4.x86_64 --> Running transaction check ---> Package mysql.x86_64 0:5.1.69-1.el6_4 will be installed --> Processing Conflict: MySQL-client-5.5.30-1.el6.x86_64 conflicts mysql --> Processing Conflict: MySQL-server-5.5.30-1.el6.x86_64 conflicts mysql --> Processing Conflict: mysql-5.1.69-1.el6_4.x86_64 conflicts MySQL --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: mysql conflicts with MySQL-devel-5.5.30-1.el6.x86_64 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
3. 使用 rpm -qa|grep mysql查看mysql的安装情况
mysql-devel-5.5.16-1.el6_4.x86_64 mysql-client-5.5.16-1.el6_4.x86_64 mysql-server-5.5.16-1.el6_4.x86_64
4. 使用rpm -e mysql-devel-5.5.16-1.el6_4.x86_64移除已有的安装包
5. 再次使用yum install mysql-devel 发现和mysql-server， mysql-client的版本有冲突
6. 去网上寻找相同的版本下载http://downloads.skysql.com/archive/index/p/mysql/v/5.5.16，下载64bit的rpm文件，使用rpm -ivh MySQL-devel-5.5.16-1.linux2.6.x86_64.rpm安装
7. 安装成功后，去/usr/bin/目录下，发现生成了mysql_config文件，继续pip install mysql-python，顺利完成。
