mysql_config not found when installing mysqldb python interface for mariadb 10 Ubuntu 13.10
Question:
After I installed Mariadb 10 the Mysql workbench and JPDB client both connect and work fine so next step was get programming with Python (using SQLAlchemy) which seems to require MySQL-python so I went to update that and got:
“mysql_config not found” I looked in the “usual places” and did not see a file…
So I followed some ideas from an earlier question on SO
and tried to install: apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
which got me to:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libmysqlclient-dev : Depends: libmysqlclient18 (= 5.5.35-0ubuntu0.13.10.2) but 10.0.10+maria-1~saucy is to be installed
which kind of hits a brick wall for me
Answers:
Found it! The case is that mariadb has a compatible package, if you have the ppa setup as in http://downloads.mariadb.org/. Just
sudo apt-get install libmariadbclient-dev

After this the mysql-python installs correctly
For Centos 7.0 install the following:
yum install mariadb-devel
For Fedora 23+:
dnf install mariadb-devel
There’s NO solution on Ubuntu 16.04
Doing:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/mariadb_config /usr/bin/mysql_config
Worked for me.
Install the following library:
sudo apt-get install libmariadb-client-lgpl-dev
And create a symbolic link named mysql_config:
ln -s /usr/bin/mariadb_config /usr/bin/mysql_config
For Debian Jessie:
sudo apt-get install libmariadb-client-lgpl-dev
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/mariadb_config /usr/bin/mysql_config
On Ubuntu 17.04 the following worked for me
sudo apt-get install default-libmysqlclient-dev
For Debian/Ubuntu PPA from https://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/
for MariaDB 10.1: apt-get install libmariadbclient-dev
for MariaDB 10.2: apt-get install libmariadb-dev
for MariaDB 10.3: apt-get install libmariadb-dev-compat
