I am trying to install python mysqldb in my mac but I got the following errors. For mysql I am using the one that is bundled with MAMP. Thanks!

here is the error message:

I guess it's not enough to use the MySQL that's bundled with MAMP, as it does not contain the C development tools for MySQL (i.e. the header files such as mysql.h). Here is a step-by-step tutorial on compiling the MySQL extension for Python on Mac OS X, but it looks like you will need the "official" MySQL distribution for that.
