[Zope] ZMySQLDA/Navigator startup error

[Robert Rottermann]

Zope normally does use its own python (in Zopes bin directory)
You have to symlink (or copy) _mysql.?? into its python path.
To learn what directories are scanned by python you can ask python  as
follows:
robert@extranet:~/zope> cd bin
robert@extranet:~/zope/bin> python
Python 2.2 (#1, Mar 26 2002, 15:46:04)
[GCC 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['', '/usr/lib/python2.2', '/usr/lib/python2.2/plat-linux2',
'/usr/lib/python2.2/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.2/lib-dynload',
'/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/PIL']
