关于安装MySQLdb出现fatal error: my_config.h: No such file or directory

今天在安装python的模块MySQLdb时，在编译源码时，一直出现一个错误，下面是编译信息：

在网上找了好长时间，一直不知道什么原因，终于找到了解决的方案：先安装mysql-devel，mysql-devel为编译mysql相关客户程序所需的库和包含文件,如果你想要编译其他MySQL客户程序，就必须先安装mysql-devel,

如果是debain系：sudoapt-get install mysql-devel

如果是redhat系：sudoyum install mysql-devel

然后正常使用：

python setup.py build

python setup.py install
