You can update your version to python2.0 or 2.1 which comes pre-build with distutils, then you must rebuild your zope installation with this and then install mysqldb-python followed by zmysqlda sources of which you can find at http://dustman.net/andy/python This is the simplest way or you can try and build the distutils for python1.5 from http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/download.html hth Norman ========================================= "Eternity is Time Time, eternity To see the two as opposite Is Man's Perversity" The Book of Angelus Silesius -----Original Message----- From: zope-admin@zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of Arkaitz Sent: Monday, April 30, 2001 11:45 AM To: zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] installing MySQLdb in Linux binary Hi all, I'm trying to install MySQLdb and ZMySQLDA in a Zope Linux binary v. 2.3.2. The problem I've found is that there's no distutils in the binary distribution, and MySQLdb requires it. Distutils won't install in the Python that Zope is using due to missing config/Makefile. Does anyone have any hint about how to get this installed? Thanks, Arkaitz. _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
