[Zope] [newbe] MySQLDA Installation error at MySQLdb build.

[Eric L. Walstad]

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!

Eric.

// Hi,
//
// Dump the MySQL 3.23.32 version I could never get it to work.
// The Db version  2.3 that I was using was a pre-release and it
// was a bomb.
//
// Ok, I was able to get the thing  working using 3.22.27 version
// of MySQL and the oMySQLdb 0.1.2.  Don't forget to get the Zope
// part ZMySQLDA so you can use MySQL in Zope.
//
// You set the paths where the MySQL libraries are.  Basically if
// you installed via the RPM method they are in the \usr directory.
//  If you installed via the source method (BEST) they are where
// you specificed when you installed them.  Also installing via the
// source method gives  you all the libraries.  Note that you need
// python development  package if you used the RPM method to
// install zope.  Best to use source for all installation-I learned
// the hard way.
//
// How can you find out what the paths are?  If you have installed
// locate on your linux box type
// # locate mysql
// See where the path is and  make the adjustment.
//
// I hope this helps.
// Dave
//
// David, did you manage to get past the Install MySQLdb step?
//
// Thanks,
//
// Eric.
