I am still getting the same error. I must be missing something. I am in ZopePark/zope/lib/python/Products/ZMySQLDA/src. This is what I am doing: ln -s /usr/bin/python2.1 make -f Makefile.pre.in boot <enter> make Am I mis understanding you?

Raymond,

Keep things on the list ;-)

Sorry, but I'm green, not entirely sure how to do this. Could you give me some specifics? If I read your message right I start python by entering python2.1 in bash, then in another window do my Makefile, and make.

firstly, do:

which python

That'll give you a path to the python using.

then do:

ln -s the-path-you-got python2.1

now do your compiling.

Then do:

ln-s the-path-you-got python1.5

..to put things back like they were...

cheers,

Chris
