I am trying to install roundup-1.4.8 on a Macos 10.5 laptop.

The demo runs OK and setup.py install 

rgm@caml18(/data/superstore/rgm/soft/roundup/roundup-1.4.8){39}> sudo
roundup-admin install
Enter tracker home: /roundup
Templates: classic-demo, minimal, classic
Select template [classic]: 
After I type space I get a page of error messages that ends with:

ImportError: Cannot load MySQL client libraries. The MySQL client must
be installed before this package can be used.

I do not have MySQL and plan to use Sqlite as the backend.

The full page of errors is below:

rgm@caml18(/data/superstore/rgm/soft/roundup/roundup-1.4.8){40}> sudo
roundup-ad
min install
Enter tracker home: /roundup

Select template [classic]: classic

I would suggest the following patch, can someone with a macos check if
the problem is still present and if yes, test the following patch?

Closing as abandoned. We haven't had any interaction in years and apparently no mac users.
