Pydev: Where do I have to add the path for an external lib (usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient)?
Question: I use mysqldb and pydev eclipse. I successfully compiled mysqldb 1.23 and now
I would like to import it. mysqldb 1.23 needs the library
libmysqlclient.18.dylib which lies in my case in /usr/local/mysql/lib. So when
I start my test program in eclipse it crashes since it does not find the
correct library. Therefore I need to tell eclipse where to find the libs.

How do I do this my case?

What and where in eclipse/pydev do I have to tell it that
libmysqlclient.18.dylib resides in the above directoy?

The error message I get

    
    
    ImportError: dlopen(/path/to/.python-eggs/MySQL_python-1.2.3-py2.7-macosx-10.6-intel.egg-tmp/_mysql.so, 2): Library not loaded: libmysqlclient.18.dylib
      Referenced from: /path/to/.python-eggs/MySQL_python-1.2.3-py2.7-macosx-10.6-intel.egg-tmp/_mysql.so

Answer: In your project's properties, (accessible from `Project > Properties...`),
click the `PyDev - PYTHONPATH` item. A view of your PYTHONPATH should be
visible. Click the `External Libraries` tab and add your library. The next
time you run, it should import correctly.
