[Zope] Re: ZMySQL Database connection trouble (fwd)

[Gitte Wange]

When I have build or compiled or whatever and i start python and tries
to import MySQL I get the following error:
>>> import MySQL
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: ./MySQLmodule.so: undefined symbol: uncompress
>>> 

Anyone ?
