Can anyone tell me whether the Zope precompiled binaries are statically linked or not? I'm running a Redhat 5.1 system, and I downloaded the most recent MySQL rpm, to see if it affected my Zope recurrent death problem at all. In the upgrade notes in the rpm, it mentions that Redhat 5.1 system's glibc-2.0.7-13 has a problem that causes some MySQL clients to die of memory problems. It recommends upgrading to glibc-2.0.7-9, which I am about to do. Since I compiled the MySQLmodule for Python directly from the ZMySQLDA package, on this system with a bad glibc, it seems probable that this might be my solution. I am going to download the upgraded glibc and recompile, and will inform the list of the result. Second question: The newest MySQL rpm, 3.22.16a-gamma-1, implies that some older client software using certain C calls to connect may need to be rewritten to work; and indeed, I cannot connect to the newer mysqld from Zope or PHPMyAdmin, although I can see with 'mysql' that it is running and does contain the same databases and same data. Any ideas on what I can do to make these two work together? This is not a priority issue, since my previous MySQL was installed in /usr/local from the precompiled statically linked tar.gz, and is still usable, so once I recompile MySQLDA with the newer glibc, I will downshift to the older MySQL... But I would like to know how to resolve the problem with the newer MySQL. Thanks for the help. Howard C. Shaw III St. Thomas High School Houston, Texas
