[Zope] MySQLDA on BSD

Hey all. I'm assisting with a BSD server that is attempting to get zope/MySQLDA going. Now, I know very little about BSD, and I don't have root. So, I'm just trying to get some information to pass on to the admin. Basically, zope and zope-MySQLDA were both installed from the BSD ports tree. Zope is running fine, and the ZMysqlda seems to be installed correctly. However the _mysql.so module was not in the right place, so I had him move it into the zope python path. Now, We're getting init failed on this module. Any ideas on this? Should we be building this from the source, or is there an easy solution using this existing file? Thanks! -ed-
