I would kill the w2k windows "~" directories by uninstalling and then installing in something simple. (C:\zope) Don't install python, it'll get installed automatically w/ zope. Install mysql-3.23.51-win.zip (from mysql.org) if you want a local mysql server. (probably?) install Mysql-python-0.9.1.win32.py2.1.exe then install that exe that I had posted before. Give it a try. Good luck, keep the faith.. it'll be worth it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adam Shallcross" <aes@starfishuk.com> To: "working4aliving" <working4aliving@hotmail.com>; <zope-db@zope.org> Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2002 12:56 PM Subject: RE: [Zope-DB] Re:MySQL problems (Adam Shallcross) HI there again... Forgive me for disturbing you again, but I am still having major problems trying to get this to work.

This, coupled with the link below ...ch.fhm.edu... should be all you need. (I think). You shouldn't have to do any compiling on the w2k box version. ----- Original Message ----- From: <zope-db-request@zope.org> To: <zope-db@zope.org> Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2002 12:00 PM Subject: Zope-DB digest, Vol 1 #252 - 2 msgs

Hello everyone..

I need some quick help please. I am new to the Zope and Python fields and am very interested in learning the product.

I have downloaded the latest release of Zope and the latest release of MySQL. Also I have downloaded the latest versions of MySQLdb and ZMySQLda....i am trying to get the modules to work in Zope, however I am having problems getting the module to install properly.

The error I get in the command window is=20

building '_mysql' extension cl.exe /c /nologo /Ox /MD /W3 /GX -Ic:\mysql\include -IC:\Py ysql.c /Fobuild\temp.win32-2.2\Release\_mysql.obj error: command 'cl.exe' failed: No such file or directory

I understand that I need to have a C comiler installed on my system, but I do not know where to get a decent free c compiler. The only help I have found so far is telling me to install Microsoft Visual C++, which I don't want to do really. There must be a way of doing this without installing this package.

I am using a Windows 2000 box.

Thanks=20
