Error installing mysql-python: library not found for -lssl
I'm having trouble installing mysql-python. Created a new virtualenv and when installing mysql-python... here's the error message:
(env)$ pip install mysql-python
Collecting mysql-python
...
clang -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup -isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.12.sdk build/temp.macosx-10.12-x86_64-2.7/_mysql.o -L/usr /local/Cellar/mysql/5.7.16/lib -lmysqlclient -lssl -lcrypto -o build/lib.macosx-10.12-x86_64-2.7/_mysql.so
ld: library not found for -lssl
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
error: command 'clang' failed with exit status 1
Using homebrew, I have installed:
- libressl
- openssl
- [email protected]
- mysql
Already tried to brew link but brew refuses to do so.
The OS is MacOS Sierra.
Can anyone help? Thanks!
Answer
You can set ssl library path explicitly.
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib pip install mysqlclient
