[Zope] Re: Zope My/SQL Adapter LD_LIBRARY_PATH

[CURTIS David]

Thanks for the tech tip but it did not solve the problem.
When I compile  "python build.py"
I get this error

Traceback(innermost  last)
 File ("build.py" l ine 14, in ?
 import MySQLdb
File "MySQLdb.py:, line 19 in ?
from _mysql import *
Import Error: libmysqlclient.so.6 cannot
open shared object file: no such file or directory.

If I type the commnd ::
# ls -l /usr/local/zope/lib/python/Products/MySQLdb-0.1.2/mysqlclient.so.6
I get 
mysqlclient.so.6 -> /usr/local/lib/mysql/mysqlclient.so.7 

I think this means that I have a proper link to the file!

LD_LIBRARY_PATH usually isn't set unless you set it. The easiest fix is to
create a symbolic link in /usr/local/lib pointing to the libmysqlclient.so.6
file. You'll probably need root access to do this.

cd /usr/local/lib
ln -s /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.6 libmysqlclient.so.6

This assumes the file is in /usr/local/lib/mysql.

If you don't have root access:

bash:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/mysql

csh:
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib/mysql

should work.
