I am also trying to get MySQL running with Zope 2.1.4. I'm trying to follow the HOWTO by "alanpog." I got to the part about Expand and Install MySQLDB but I am stuck. In the installation README, it says to read Setup.in to verify the paths. I have no idea what those paths or for and I don't have them on my Linux system. Does anyone know what these paths are for and how I can determine what I should set them to? I have MySQL 3.22.32, I'm trying to install MySQLdb 0.1.2 and ZMySQLDA 1.1.3 per the alanpog HOWTO Curtis, what is the really good HOWTO you mentioned? The one I found is very brief and isn't helping me much. Also, where did you get MySQLdb version 0.2.3? The latest I saw was 0.1.2. David, did you manage to get past the Install MySQLdb step? Thanks, Eric.
