MySQL python installation

Hi

I am using CentOS 4 machine..trying to install MySQL for python to setup a boinc project..
During the building process I am getting this error..I have even set the LD lIBRARY PATH..

./python -E ./setup.py build
./python: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried installing both the ways..
1. downloaded mysql for the python present and builded mysql..
2. downloaded both MySQL-python and Python and then builded both the files together..using the commands given in the link..
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/PythonMysql

But getting the same error..
Please help me out asap!!

mysql for python is only a binding for the python language to mysql. you still need mysql client libraries installed... is it? does that file actually exist?

yes..those files exist..
it exists in /usr/local/lib..
the LD_LIBRARY_PATH..has been set to this path
