[Zope] RE: [newbie] MySQLDA Installation error at MySQLdb build.

[Eric L. Walstad]

Hi Andy,

In my MySQLdb directory, the Setup.in file contains the following:

_mysql
_mysqlmodule.c -L/usr/local/lib/mysql -I/usr/local/include/mysql -lmysqlclie
nt

Note that this does NOT point to the location of the Python.h file, as you
suggested it should (below)

I've just finished recompiling and installing Python, Python-devel, MySQL,
MySQL-devel; after each step, I tried to run the build.py script and each
time I get the following error:

 Traceback (innermost last):
    File "build.py", line 14, in ?
      import MySQLdb
    File "MySQLdb.py", line 19, in ?
      from _mysql inport *
  ImportError: ./_mysqlmodule.so: undefined symbol: Py_InitModule3

I even tried installing just MySQLDA and that failed, too.

<EXTREME FRUSTRATION>All I want is to be able to connect to a MySQL DB from
Zope.</EXTREME FRUSTRATION>

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Eric.

// Setup.in should already point there. Note that if you modify Setup.in and
// Setup already exists, you need to remove Setup; or you could just modify
