Answer 1

On Fedora, install the mariadb-devel package, and you should have the binary.

Answer 2

In Ubuntu 13.04 installation, it is at /usr/bin/mysql_config

Answer 3

You can also do:

find / -name my.cnf -type f

Answer 4

The mysql_config executable is by default located in the bin directory of the MySQL server installation if you install it from precompiled binaries. But if you install it using apt-get it may not exist on your server.

Try:

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev

Answer 5

yum install mariadb-devel works for Centos 7 too, this puts the mysql_config into all the places that pip install mysqlclient requires/looks for it.

Answer 6

Try /etc/my.cnf, that is the standard file for mysql config.
