hi,
I am trying to add a ZMySQL database connection. Everything seems to go ok, but when I try to view the Products Management, it shows the ZMySQL as a broken product, when I view it, there is an error that says:
ImportError: /usr/lib/python1.5/site-package/MySQLmodule.so: undefined symbol: uncompress
If I try to go the the /opt/zope/lib ,etc. directory and start the db.py connection directly, python db.py, i get the same error.
If someone could provide some direction on how to recompile the .so file so that it can handle the uncompress problem, I would be most grateful.
btw, i've read the various howtos on the zope.org site, and i didn't find this particular problem there.
I am running MySQL 3.23, the most recent release of zope, on linux 2.2 running slackware 7.0
Many thanks.
ciao! greg.

Gregory, I got this a while back - here are my notes: NOTE: The first time I got a problem relating to umcompress: ImportError: ./_mysqlmodule.so: undefined symbol: uncompress You may need to add -lz to you Setup.in file per this: http://www.ravenbrook.com/project/p4dti/import/2000-08-09/python-mysqldb-0.2 .2/MySQLdb-0.2.2/doc/MySQLdb-FAQ-1.html Then I moved MySQLdb.py* to /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages and I was able to run python and import _mysql After that, I copied the _mysqlmodule.so module up to the ZMySQLDA directory restarted Zope and was able to create a connection.
