Python: MySQLdb and "Library not loaded: libmysqlclient.16.dylib"
The setup...
Trying to set up a clean Mac os X 10.6 install to develop python/django and I didn't remember running into this on 10.5.
After installing MySQL from the installer on mysql-5.5.8-osx10.6-x86_64.dmg
I ran
$ sudo pip install MySQL-python
and it seemed to go smoothly (output below)

Cleaning up...
after this I tried:
$ python -c "import MySQLdb"
and it crapped out on me with:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 19, in <module>
import _mysql
ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/_mysql.so, 2): Library not loaded: libmysqlclient.16.dylib
Referenced from: /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/_mysql.so
Reason: image not found
So on to my question...
What did I do wrong?/What else do I need to do?
Googling (and searching here) for this returns a lot of results getting this error message with Ruby not too many with Python tho.
Just set the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
after running pip install
or easy_install
:
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mysql/lib/
Should do the job assuming your MySQL installation lives under /usr/local/mysql
.
_mysql.so
refers to libmysqlclient.16.dylib
. That is, the shared library that serves as the bridge between Python and the MySQL client library, _mysql.so
, refers to the dynamic library for the MySQL client library, and that library cannot be loaded for some reason.
Questions you need to answer:
- Is there a
libmysqlclient.16.dylib
anywhere on your system? If not, you need to install the MySQL client software. - If so, is the directory containing that library in your
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
setting? If not, try adding it. - If so, you'll have to ensure that the
libmysqlclient.16.dylib
file is not corrupt. My copy, installed in/opt/local/lib/mysql5/mysql/libmysqlclient.16.dylib
, courtesy of MacPorts, has MD5 signaturec79ee91af08057dfc269ee212915801a
and is 1,462,376 bytes in size. What does your copy look like?
After easy_install, I create a soft link that solved the problem
sudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib /usr/local/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib
It can also crop up if your MySQL client is newer than your MySQL-python package. In my case, I had a libmysqlclient_r.18.dylib on my machine, but not a libmysqlclient_r.16.dylib. Running pip search mysql
revealed
MySQL-python - Python interface to MySQL INSTALLED: 1.2.3 LATEST: 1.2.3c1
and running pip install --upgrade MySQL-python
fixed my problem.
On my setup (mysql 5.7.x from brew, pyenv), I had a newer lib file libmysqlclient.20.dylib
. What worked was to pip uninstall MySQL-python
and pip install MySQL-python
.
On the latest version of MySQL 5.7.9 it's no support from MySQL-python
and I used the PyMySQL
library instead. Also I added in manage.py
(in Django project) these lines to emulate API of MySQL-python:
try:
# load MySQLdb interface emulation
import pymysql
pymysql.install_as_MySQLdb()
except ImportError:
pass
For those like me who need - or have - both MySQLdb & PyMySQL installed (in my case, I needed to have both installed because I use PyMySQL to connect to my local MySQL instances, and MySQLDb for remote/live instances):
Be sure you're using the right URI scheme. To access the local instances:
LOCAL_DATABASE_URI = 'mysql+pymysql://username:password@hostname/dbname'
and for live:
REMOTE_DATABASE_URI = 'mysql+mysqldb://username:password@hostname/dbname'
Making this distinction solved the issue for me
