Hi, I'm playing with Zope, and have been trying to get Zope to talk to MySQL using the MySQLDA. I'm running RedHat 5.2 Since there were caveats about having MySQL development enabled, and such, I downloaded the source distribution for MySQL and made it. It appears to be working very nicely. When I follow the procedures outlined in the README, the following happens: I run make -f Makefile.pre.in boot and everything works correctly. I then run make and get the following error. gcc -fPIC -g -O2 -I/usr/include/python1.5 -I/usr/include/python1.5 -DHAVE_CONFIG _H -I/usr/local/mysql/include -I/usr/include/mysql -c ./MySQLmodule.c ./MySQLmodule.c: In function `pythonify_row': ./MySQLmodule.c:238: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type gcc -shared MySQLmodule.o -L/usr/local/mysql/lib -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclien t -lm -o MySQLmodule.so ld: cannot open -lmysqlclient: No such file or directory make: *** [MySQLmodule.so] Error 1 I did a locate on mysqlclient, and coudln't find the file. though I did find some called libmysqlclient. So I changed the both Setup and Setup.in to reflect that other name. however, I still get the above error. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Stand Fast, tjg. =================================================== Timothy Grant VP Technology/CTO Avalon Technology Group tjg@avalongroup.net www.avalongroup.net (503) 246-3630 voice (503) 246-3124 fax
