Hello, First of all, I have installed MySQL under /user/local/mysql ( it was the sorce version) then under /zopehome I have extract the ZMySQLDA-2.0.9b1.tar.gz ( it extracted to /zopehome/lib/python/Product/ZMySQLDA then under /zopehome/lib/python/Product I have extracted MySQL-python-0.9.0.tar.gz then i do ' python setup.py build ' ( there was an error message) then I edit the setup.py file under ' /zopehome/lib/python/Product/MySQL-python-09' ( because there was this error : mysql.h .. no such file or dirctory ) a) elif os.name == "posix": #most linux platforms include_dirs = ['usr/include/mysql'] libary_dirs = [' usr/lib/mysql'] ----------> include_dirs = ['usr/local/mysql/include/mysql'] libary_dirs = [' usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql'] (because there was the file mysql.h) after that i do ' python setup.py build ' ( there was no error message) and then ' python setup.py install' ( also no error message) After that all I started the zope server , and i received an Error Message Anybody knows why ?? I have no idea !
