Well, just to update the readers, I went back and deleted everything installed by the "How-To..." and tried it just using the directions for the "Software Product: ZMySQLDA" by MikeP. That worked perfectly. I am using SuSE 6.2 on my server and did not need any other files. Just followed the directions. Recommended. Someone with more experience than I might want to figure out when one really needs to use the How-To, rather than the product instructions. Even though people tried to save me some trouble, and it looked like a good thing given the dates on the how-to vs the instructions, there were subtle differences that made my experience different from some others. Perhaps the List party line should be: if the instructions do not work for you, then check out this how-to. Of course, I outsmarted myself, too, by not trying those instructions first! Thanks again to all. -----Original Message----- From: zope-admin@zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of Robert Geiger Sent: Saturday, January 29, 2000 8:18 PM To: Zope; Zope-Dev Subject: [Zope] ZMySQLDA problem after following HOW TO...
