Answer 1

yum install mysql-devel

It worked for me.

Answer 2

Python or Python3 with MySQL, you will need these. These libraries use MySQL's connector for C and Python (you need the C libraries installed as well), which overcome some of the limitations of the mysqldb libraries.

   sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
   sudo apt-get install python-mysql.connector
   sudo apt-get install python3-mysql.connector
