[Zope] Kinterbasdb + Firebird + Zope Q's

[Derek Basch]

Thanks Dieter,
I think that Firebird/Interbase will meet my needs
very nicely. 

I have spent the last day playing with it and am a bit
confused on how to get the Kinterbasdb Python
Extension Package and the ZFireBirdDA Product working.

http://kinterbasdb.sourceforge.net/
http://www.zope.org/Members/philh/ZFireBirdDA

I have programmed python for about 3 months and this
is the first I have had to use an Extension Package.

The kinterbasdb Extension has source and binary
distributions. The binary dist looks in the registry
for a python installation so it wont work for zope (Im
guessing). What is the best way to install the source
dist with Zope? 

When I attempt to complile the source dist using zopes
python interpreter (Zope\bin) I get this error:

COMPILER CONFIGURATION ERROR:
  Unable to create a Borland-compatible Python library
file using the
  coff2omf utility.
  Tried command:
    coff2omf C:\PROGRA~1\TelOnyx\bin\libs\python21.lib
C:\PROGRA~1\TelOnyx\bin\l
ibs\python21_bcpp.lib

Thanks Again,
Derek Basch
