Ok, eu recentemente atualizei do Ubuntu 10.04 para 12.04

Apenas para ser enfrentado por muitos problemas. Eu sou um novato nisso, então você pode ter que me dizer um pouco mais detalhadamente ou passo a passo

Eu tinha um projeto de django que estava funcionando perfeitamente, mas agora isso me dá esse erro:

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/db/backends/mysql/base.py", line 16, in <module>
    raise ImproperlyConfigured("Error loading MySQLdb module: %s" % e) django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module: libmysqlclient_r.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

ou em python:

>>> import MySQLdb
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 19, in <module>
  File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/_mysql.py", line 7, in <module>
  File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/_mysql.py", line 6, in __bootstrap__
ImportError: libmysqlclient_r.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

De qualquer forma eu pensei que havia algum problema com o meu MySQL-python, então eu tentei reinstalá-lo.

sudo pip install mysql-python

dá:

    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

----------------------------------------
Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 2 in /tmp/pip-build/mysql-python
Storing complete log in /home/nabeel/.pip/pip.log

Se eu fizer :

sudo easy_install -U distribute

Isso dá esse erro:

Mais uma vez agora eu fui para este link:http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/0.6c11 para baixar e instalar setuptools .. Eu também instalei o mais recente distribuir 0.6.8 a partir daqui:http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute/0.6.8

Eu também tentei desinstalar as versões anteriores e instalar de volta, mas parece que não funciona. Eu tenho o Python 2.7.3 instalado

Alguém poderia me explicar o que está acontecendo ... Como eu posso instalar o Mysqldb ...

Eu também executei estes comandos no shell:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client python-mysqldb libmysqlclient-dev python-dev

Mas isso não ajudou ...

ATUALIZAÇÃO Eu acabei de fazer isso e recebi este erro:

ATUALIZAÇÃO 2: Eu consegui instalar o virtualenv agora no ambiente que eu também consegui instalar o MySQLdb. Aqui está o erro que recebo durante a execução do meu servidor:

sudo python manage.py syncdb

Eu recebo este erro:
