[Zope] MySQL Database not working well with Zope

[Dennis Allison]

Ummm... you appear to be missing the C++ compiler or the setup.py
is referencing a compiler different from the one you have in place.
Look at the setup.* files and modify them as appropriate.

This from a quick google on "cl.exe" gives a bit more information.
It's from the archives of this list.

cl.exe is the name of Microsoft's C/C++ compiler.  Zope is tested with MSVC
(MicroSoft Visual C++) version 6 on Windows.  If you don't have MSVC6, that
explains it.  If you do have MSVC6, there's a world of other possibilities,
but one step at a time.
