[Zope] ZMySQLDA Help

[Dennis Allison]

OK, which zope and which python are you using?  Zope requires python
2.1.3.  RH7.3 ships with Python 1.5 and Python 2.2.    The Linux binary
distribution of Zope includes python 2.1.3--it's what I use.

You'll need the source tarballs or the SRPMs for MySQL-python-0.9.1-1py2.
Both MySQL-python and ZMySQLDA use distutils.  In the directory for each 
product execute

	/var/www/zope/bin/python setup.py build
	/var/www/zope/bin/python setup.py install

Note that you *must* use the python used with zope as that's the way all
the proper libraries and path are identified.  After a bit of fuss, some 
C compiles, and the like, you should be in business.

Good luck.
