error <my_config.h> MUST be included first - CentOS 7

[danpilch]

Hi,

The newest version of mariadb-devel (mariadb-devel-5.5.40-1.el7_0.x86_64) on CentOS 7 breaks when installing MySQL-python via pip:

In file included from /usr/include/mysql/my_config.h:14:0,

             from _mysql.c:44:

/usr/include/mysql/my_config_x86_64.h:654:2: error: #error <my_config.h> MUST be included first!

#error <my_config.h> MUST be included first!

^

error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

I resolved this by removing all mariadb packages via yum:

yum remove maria*

Then installing an older version (mariadb-devel-5.5.37-1.el7_0.x86_64). This seemed to fix the issue.

Hope this can help anyone else in the same situation.

FYI, mysqlclient has fixed it.
PyMySQL/mysqlclient#7
