Hi Andy, In my MySQLdb directory, the Setup.in file contains the following: _mysql _mysqlmodule.c -L/usr/local/lib/mysql -I/usr/local/include/mysql -lmysqlclie nt Note that this does NOT point to the location of the Python.h file, as you suggested it should (below) I've just finished recompiling and installing Python, Python-devel, MySQL, MySQL-devel; after each step, I tried to run the build.py script and each time I get the following error: Traceback (innermost last): File "build.py", line 14, in ? import MySQLdb File "MySQLdb.py", line 19, in ? from _mysql inport * ImportError: ./_mysqlmodule.so: undefined symbol: Py_InitModule3 I even tried installing just MySQLDA and that failed, too. <EXTREME FRUSTRATION>All I want is to be able to connect to a MySQL DB from Zope.</EXTREME FRUSTRATION> Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
