Andy Dustman helped me see the error of my (non mysqldev installed) ways. Thanks! -Don -----Original Message----- From: Donald Braman [mailto:donald.braman@yale.edu] Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2001 7:56 PM To: zope@zope.org Subject: Connecting to MySQL I'm finding it difficult to put all the pieces together to MySQL enable Zope. I know I need MySQL-python-0.3.x and the ZMySQLDA ... and that to install those I need distutils ... but I'm running MySQL 3.23.33 on RedHat 7.0 and the distutils setup.py is conking out (I think) because all the directories are different. Is there an easier way? If not, can someone hold my hand a bit and tell me what files/directories I need to specify in the setup.py. I'm fairly new (two days with) Zope, (one day with) MySQL, and Python. -Don
