I can query mysql and get results from within the python command line. So that works ok. When I perfomr the make -f Makefile.pre.in boot there is no error. However when I perfomr the make I get an error as fallows [root@localhost src]# make gcc -fpic -I/usr/local/mysql/include -I/usr/include/mysql -g -O2 -I/usr/include/python1.5 -I/usr/include/python1.5 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c ./MySQLmodule.c ./MySQLmodule.c: In function `pythonify_row': ./MySQLmodule.c:238: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type ./MySQLmodule.c: In function `pythonify_res_fields': ./MySQLmodule.c:384: invalid lvalue in unary `&' ./MySQLmodule.c: In function `STH_fetchdict': ./MySQLmodule.c:1125: invalid lvalue in unary `&' ./MySQLmodule.c:1147: invalid lvalue in unary `&' make: *** [MySQLmodule.o] Error 1 I read about the fixed bug [40] Zope Doc_Request: Make failures for ZmySQLDA I do not know if this is a related issue.
