Hi David and the rest of the group, Can you believe I am still battling this MySQLDA installation!? ARGH! I hope you can help me out here: According to the HOWTO by alanpog, I've 1. Downloaded MySQLDA 1.1.3 2. Expanded it into my top level Zope Directory (/usr/local/Zope) Note that I did not do any installation here, just expanded it into this directory. 3. Downloaded MySQLdb v0.1.2 4. Expanded MySQLdb into /usr/local/Zope/lib/python/Products 4a. Modified the Setup.in file so that the one uncommented line is: _mysql _mysqlmodule.c -L/usr/local/lib/mysql -I/usr/local/include/mysql -lmysqlclie nt As you mentioned, these point to where my MySQL libraries are. 4b. According to the README file, ran 'python build.py' This is where I am stuck. The build.py script crunches along then bombs with the following error: Traceback (innermost last): File "build.py", line 14, in ? import MySQLdb File "MySQLdb.py", line 19, in ? from _mysql inport * ImportError: libmysqlclient.so.6: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory" I checked and this file is in my /usr/local/lib/mysql directory. It is a link to libmysqlclient.so.6.0.0. Both files are there; owner=root, group=root. I'm hoping this is a simple fix ;^) Any idea's would be greatly appreciated!
