Ok now, I downloaded, compliled, and installed the MySQL release version 3.21.33. (Three tries) I downloaded and installed the ZMySQLDA package as per instructions, everything worked, no errors in the consol window and I created a "MySQLmodule.so" binary. Moved it into the ZMySQLDA product directory and restarted Zope.
I did change the ZMySQLDA setup script to reflect the correct paths to my MySQL lib and include dirs. Make was completed fine.
However when logging into my management screen I do not have the option to create a new database connection from the pull down menu.
Any thoughts, did I miss a thread on this?
If you look at /Control_Panel/Products/ZMySQLDA in the management interface, do you see a "traceback" tab? If so, what does the traceback say? You might also ensure that the MySQLmodule.so that you created has its permissions set so that the Zope process can read and execute it.
