在ubuntul下的linux系统下安装MySQL-python时，报错EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found，错误代码显示如下：

(django_e_shop) pyvip@Vip:~/django_e_shop$ pip install MySQL-python==1.2.5
Collecting MySQL-python==1.2.5
  Using cached https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/a5/e9/51b544da85a36a68debe7a7091f068d802fc515a3a202652828c73453cad/MySQL-python-1.2.5.zip
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    sh: 1: mysql_config: not found
    Traceback (most recent call last):

        metadata, options = get_config()
      File "setup_posix.py", line 43, in get_config
        libs = mysql_config("libs_r")
      File "setup_posix.py", line 25, in mysql_config
        raise EnvironmentError("%s not found" % (mysql_config.path,))
    EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found

    ----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-install-PuWQRJ/MySQL-python/

查找原因是系统未安装：libmysqlclient-dev,通过如下命令安装

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev

然后找到Linux下的mysql_config文件的路径，执行如下两条命令：

sudo updatedb
locate mysql_config

其中mysql_config文件的默认路径是在/usr/bin/mysql_config。

执行完成后再次使用pip install mysql-python命令安装后就可以正常使用了。
