Problem setting up MySQL with python on OSX 10.6

I'm trying to install MySQL on OSX 10.6 to work with Django.

MySQL seems to have installed correctly.

I'm attempting to install MySQLdb for Python I've tried using easy_install

$ python setup.py install

Which completes

But I'm getting the follow error:

Any ideas?

Check to make sure the mysql client library (the C client library) is properly installed. Look in /usr/include or /usr/local/include for for a folder called "mysql". Do the same for /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib.
