Unable to execute gcc-4.2 No such file or directory when adding MySQLdb Module

[davecroto]

Trying to add the MySQLdb Module to my Splunk Python for Splunk scripted inputs from a db. It is complaining about gcc-4.2 Is there any suggestions on a safe way to add it or find it?

Any help?

This really isn't a Splunk question, but it's been here forever and has double points so I'll try. 😄

It looks like you are compiling on an OS X machine. Normally gcc is not named gcc-4.2. Make sure your system has the gcc compiler - you may need to install it either from a ports package or install XCode. (My imac at home has XCode and has /usr/bin/gcc but not /usr/bin/gcc-4.2)

You have a variety of possible paths:

• look for this code already compiled as part of a ports package
• consult with the MySQL lists for assistance with compiling their driver

• make sure you have gcc installed, then hack in a symlink to gcc-4.2 -> gcc like this

  sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc /usr/local/bin/gcc-4.2
