Hi, I am new to Zope, and I am just in the "experiments" step of my learning path. I use Zope 2.3.2, Python 2.0 and Windows 98. I would like to connect Zope to Interbase 6.0, and I have found the gvib Database Adapter package on http://www.zope.org/Members/bkc/gvibDA/gvibDA-0.9.6.tar.gz The problem is that I cannot use it ! How can I get an"Interbase Connection" from the "add" list in Zope ? Where should I put the files included in the package ? I have read the instructions which come with it, but still I do not understand;do I have to "compile" it ? I thought the "binaries" where included with the .zip files; if not, where can I get a "pre-compiled" version of it ? Thanks in advance, Fabrizio

Unpack the .tar file in your Zope directory tree (should get gvibDA in lib/python/Products) Under the gvibDA directory you should find gvibBase.dll, put that in <windows>\system32 or in the <zope>\bin directory.

Thank you very much, Brad ! Now it works !!
Under the gvibDA directory you should find gvibBase.dll, put that in <windows>\system32 or in the <zope>\bin directory.
I didn't do it, but I put the gvibBase.dll into <zope> \lib\python\Products\gvibDA\gvib, and yet it works ! Only one point: at first, I had my database in this path : C:\Programmi\Borland\InterBase\miei DB\Test.gdb and I could not connect to it through Zope. Then I have just moved it to: C\database\Test.gdb and now it works. Any idea why ? Thanks again, Fabrizio.

I would guess that you are having problems with the space between "miei" and "DB". I always try to avoid spaces in file and directory names -- they cause too many problems. David Trudgett
Correct ! That was the problem, I have just renamed my directory as "mieiDB" and now it works ! Many thanks again. Fabrizio
