Infinite problems with MySQL and Zope and MySQL-python (which used to be called MySQLdb before right) - I downloaded the latest MySQL-python 0.3.3 - Followed the instructions carefully. Had to install the python-devel kit for Distutils. - # python setup.py build and install gave me a C parse error at line 1678 in _mysqlmodule.c which I fixed. Anyhow I now have a file called _mysql.so in /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/ <zopedir> ./start Complains the usual (common problem according to endless searches on the mailing list archive) Traceback (innermost last): ImportError: No module named _mysql So I copy /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/_mysql.so to <zopedir>/lib/python/Products/ZMySQLDA/ Now this is the error I get: 2001-02-15T13:00:06 ERROR(200) Zope Couldn't import Products.ZMySQLDA Traceback (innermost last): File /home/zope/Zope-2.3.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/OFS/Application.py, line 530, in import_products (Object: string) File /home/zope/Zope-2.3.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/Products/ZMySQLDA/__init__.py, line 91, in ?

ImportError: /home/zope/Zope-2.3.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/Products/ZMySQLDA/_mysql.so: undefined symbol: Py_InitModule3 In the mailing list archives I've seen this error before, but no concrete solution other than "check your paths to mysql" etc. Zope 2.3.0 RedHat 6.2 Mysql 2.23.32 Python 1.5.2 (with python-devel) Can somebody suggest a good _combination of versions_ to be used because the box hasn't been hooked up yet and we can reinstall a lot from scratch if necessary. Really really grateful for advice, Peter
