Hi, thanks to all the help I got, I'm a lot closer to connecting Zope to MySQL now and I think I know where the problem is. I have: - started with Suse Linux 7.0 - installed Zope 2.3.2 - installed MySQL 3.22.32 and Python 1.5.2-something with YAST - downloaded and installed MySQL-python-0.3.5, ZMySQLDA-2.0.6 as stated in the ebook I bought myself - downloaded and installed Distutils-1.0.2 - tried to compile the MySQL-python-0.3.5 - got the error message: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/zope/lib/python/OFS/Application.py", line 528, in import_products product=__import__(pname, global_dict, global_dict, silly) File "/usr/zope/lib/python/Products/ZMySQLDA/__init__.py", line 91, in ? import DA File "/usr/zope/lib/python/Products/ZMySQLDA/DA.py", line 91, in ? from db import DB File "/usr/zope/lib/python/Products/ZMySQLDA/db.py", line 89, in ? import _mysql ImportError: No module named _mysql I took a look at /usr/zope/lib/python/Products/ZMySQLDA/db.py and it says in line 89: "import _mysql", hard coded. Which explains the error: I found no such file on my computer. So it seems, I still have to install something, right? What is it? I'll have a beer on you all when it works, promise!
