During installation of MySQL-python-1.2.3c1 I encountered the following
error:

$ python2.6 setup.py build

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

Linker could not find libpython2.6.so. Note that the compiler *did* find
Python include file: -I/usr/local/Python-2.6.3/include/python2.6.
I am running CentOS5.3. Python 2.6 was configured as follows:

$ TARGET=/usr/local/Python-2.6.3
$ export LDFLAGS=-Wl,-rpath,$TARGET/lib
$ ./configure --prefix=$TARGET \
--with-cxx=g++ --with-threads --enable-shared

to avoid messing with LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
I managed to complete the installation by pasting the above link command
and adding proper -L option, but I would like to know what would be
the proper fix.
