...

and it got past the Python.h error - however it then errored with

In file included from _mysql.c:31: /opt/Python-2.1.1/Include/Python.h:24: config.h: No such file or directory In file included from /opt/Python-2.1.1/Include/Python.h:54, from _mysql.c:31: /opt/Python-2.1.1/Include/pyport.h:4: config.h: No such file or directory In file included from /opt/Python-2.1.1/Include/Python.h:54, from _mysql.c:31: /opt/Python-2.1.1/Include/pyport.h:404: #error "could not set LONG_MAX in pypor" error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

Any ideas ?

/opt/Python-2.1.1 is your Python source directory, isn't it?...

How did you install Python? Did you make install? By default, it should install into /usr/local, with the include files going into /usr/local/include/python.

Yes I did and it put the modules in /usr/local/lib/include/python2.1 so I changed setup.py to if sys.platform == "linux2": # Red Hat include_dirs = ['/usr/include/mysql','/opt/Python-2.1.1/Include','/usr/local /include/python2.1'] And then ran ../bin/python setup.py build (from my Mysql-python directory underneath the zope home directory - and it ran !!! so I then ran ../bin/python setup.py install and that ran so I ran ./stop and ./start in my zope home directory and ZMySQLDA was installed and running. Got there in the end. Thanks for your help Regards Richard Richard Moon richard@dcs.co.uk
