Hello everybody, I had many difficulties with this installation and want to make thinks easier for others, so I wrote this little how-to: How to install gvIB 0.96 on win2k: ================================= 1. Install interbase server 6.x and copy the file employee.gdb into the folder c:\database 2. Copy the folder gvib as folder into the folder c:\programme\website\bin\lib (replace website with the name of your zope-website) 3. Decompress the dll in the file gvIBBASE.zip and copy it into the gvib-folder 4. test the installation with python on the command prompt: cd c:\programme\website\bin python Python 1.5.2 (#3, Mar 8 2000, 16:34:52) [C] on sunos5 Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam >>> import gvib >>> db = 'c:\database\employee.gdb' >>> cn = gvib.connect(db, 'sysdba', 'masterkey') >>> cn.close() >>> ctrl-z RETURN If there was no error, continue: 5. copy the folder gvibDA into the folder c:\programme\website\lib\python\products 6. restart zope 7. look at ControlPanel/Products wether you see the product gvibDA and wether it is not broken (the symbol) If it was installed correctly: 8. add a GV Interbase Data Connection to any test-folder within Zope.
