mysql.c 2888 error,Trouble Setting Up MySQLdb Module

I'm pulling my hair out over here trying to set up MySQLdb on my Mac in order to connect to a remote MySQL server.

I have installed the latest C MySQL client libraries

I have installed XCode 4

I did naively try to install the module before installing XCode or the client libraries

I am attempting to set up the module by running the following commands in terminal:

$ sudo python setup.py build

$ sudo python setup.py install

Both of these commands fail with similar error messages. Here is the first stack trace:

running build

I have been at this for a few days now and it's starting to drive me nuts. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
