Hi, Are the mysql libraries specified in your library path? They're typically in /usr/lib/mysql or /usr/local/lib/mysql. If your mysql libraries are in /usr/local/lib/mysql, set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH accordingly, or modify the Setup.in file in the MySQLdb directory so that the correct directory is used. Good luck! hth, -- Marcus

Kindest..

I am having some small problems getting MySql support into my Zope projects. Here is what I get when I try to compile MySQLdb-0.2.0 ..

gcc -fpic -I/usr/include/mysql -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include/python1.5 -I/usr/local/include/python1.5 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c ./_mysqlmodule.c gcc -shared _mysqlmodule.o -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -o _mysqlmodule.so /usr/bin/ld: cannot open -lmysqlclient: Ingen slik fil eller filkatalog collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [_mysqlmodule.so] Error 1 Whoa, couldn't import _mysql: No module named _mysql Probably _mysqlmodule.so didn't compile correctly. Or your library paths may be bad. Check the FAQ. [root@new MySQLdb-0.2.0]#

.. as for the installation guides on the www.zope.org archives; none have worked for me. Could anyone who's already done this be kind enough to share some wisdom! ;)

I admit; this might be a good time to start learning Oracle, but then again; mySql fits jus perfect for what I am going to do! ;)

Would apriciate any input.

.. and you all have a nice day!

Kindest, Jørgen Skogstad "Struggeling zope'r with mySql!"
