Dear Mr. Dustman,
 
Currently we are in the process of installing mysql-python module on cobalt / MIPS architecture.
 
We have tried everything:
 
1. src.rpm  --> --rebuild
2. src.rpm --> rpm -i --> rpm -i /usr/src/RPMS/mips/python-MySQLmodule-1.4.0-7.mips.rpm
3. copy Mysqldb.c into $PYTHON_SOURCE/Modules and do a make (followed after make install)
4. Build from source distrib (python build.py --> make install)
 
all with no success. Above installation methods all 'exit' normally, but our Zope gives:
 
  Sorry, a Zope error occurred.<p>
<!--

We use:
Cobalt most recent MIPS linux version (continuously upgraded)
python1.5.2
Zope2.0.1
MySQL-3.22.20a
 
If you need more info, please contact us... Please help, we so urgently need a solution/workaround for this issue...
 
 
Yours,
