I can't seem to get MySQL_db to install - it says: MySQLdb without a doubt. Works VERY well with mod_python - Im use mod_python 3.1.3 python 2.3.4 and MySQL 4.1.10a with MySQLdb 1.20 (under Linux) and 1.0.0 (under win32 but needs patching with a small fix for timestamp fields...i can send it!) > ======= > gcc -pthread -shared build/temp.linux-i686-2.3/_mysql.o -lmysqlclient -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm] -lmysqlclient_r -o build/lib.linux-i686-2.3/_mysql.so > /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient > collect2: ld returned 1 exit status > error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 > ====== > and I wondered if there is another connector that is better suited for mod_python. Or, does anyone have any ideas about why I get the gcc library linking error if MySQL_db is the connector of choice. Firstly you probably dont want mysqlclient. You probably want mysqlclient_r which is the reentrant thread-safe version. You link line seems to have both - very worrying...Ill check my compilation... Is MySQL located in default location? Where did you install it to? Have you checked the include & library paths to make sure the MySQL libs and includes are on the right path. I compiled up 1.2.0 only 2 days ago under SuSE9.0 with no problems. > ------------------------------ >>What's the best way to connect mod_python to a MySQL database?

I think I also downloaded the dynamic client libraries RPM in addition to the standard package. > ------------------------------ > > Message: 5 > Date: Sat, 16 Apr 2005 10:12:04 +0200 > From: azurIt <azurit at pobox.sk> > Subject: Re: [mod_python] mod_python to MySQL > To: Mod_python at modpython.org > the problem can be also in MySQL version - older versions of 4.0.x > are not supported and it's even not possible to compile MySQL-python > (i had the same problem). If you are useing MySQL 4.0.x try to > upgrade to the latest version (for now it's 4.0.24). Current stable is 4.1.10a. MySQLdb works well with this 1.2.0 is the best. But if you need it on windows use the 1.0.0 binary and then patch the times.py file. -- Regards Barry Pearce
