[Zope] problem authenticating, even with emergency user

[Chris McDonough]

FWIW, it is typically better to install mysql-python with an --rpath, e.g.

python setup.py build_ext --rpath=/path/to/mysql/lib
python setup.py install

This prevents you from ever needing to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in programs that use 
the library.  You might need to change the mysql-python's site.cfg file too (to 
be able to find mysql_config).
