pip install error on Mac OS X and Mamp Pro

I'm having trouble installing pip as it can't find my mysql_config file. I'm on a Mac I'm using Mamp Pro the config file is located here in Mamp: /Users/james/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/my_cnf

I've changed the site.cfg file to point to this:

mysql_config = /Users/james/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/my_cnf

Which didn't work. I've placed the mysql_config on my path via:

PATH=$PATH:/Users/james/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/my_cnf
export PATH

The error I'm getting is:

Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1

What am I doing wrong? I would like to carry on using Mamp Pro, does anyone know how to fix this as I'm out of ideas!?!?

Since you are running install command with sudo you are using the elevated accounts path, that may not include mysql_config.

Try this:

james$ which mysql_config
james$ sudo which mysql_config

and make sure both return the same path to mysql_config.
