Hello a_Monteiro,

I was reading some posts online about the same issue and according to them it was because of the dependencies libmysqlclient-dev and python-dev. However, I installed them both and even though the error changed, I still couldn't install it so I installed the following packages and I was able to install MySQL-python with the pip command:

libmysqlclient-dbg

libmysqlclient-r

libmysqlclient-r-dev

libmysqlclient-r-staticdev

libmysqlclient-staticdev

libmysqlclient18

libmysqld-dev

libmysqlclient-dev

libmysqld18
