[Zope-DB] PoPy

[Luke Vanderfluit]

Hi Brian,

Thanks for your reply,
I'm pressed for time too, but I've put the idea on the backburner for now, 
next week or on the weekend, I'll attempt again. I'll be doing a fresh 
install of Linux, Zope and I'll be using psyopg, hopefully I'll get it all 
working, if not you'll hear from me. 
kind regards,

Luke

=-> Hi Luke,
=->
=-> Don't know if I can help you get the PoPy install working because I
=-> finally installed Psycopg to use as my database adaptor for Postgresql.
=-> I tried all three and then finally got Psycopg working. None of them
=-> are "simple" to install.
=->
=-> If you want to use Pscyopg there are some helpful hints inside the FAQ.
=-> I followed the instructions EXACTLY of the first answer from the FAQ
=-> and everything worked. I also installed everything from source not
=-> RPM's (or in my case .debs). That means you need:
=->
=-> Python 2.1.3 installed "--with-threads"
=-> Zope 2.6.1
=-> EgenixMXDateTime
=-> Postgresql 7.3
=-> Psycopg (forgot version number)
=->
=-> I had a tough time because I had multiple installs of python on my
=-> computer. Finally I got rid of all of them and started over with 2.1.3.
=->
=-> Postgresql should have "-make-install-allheaders" (the syntax might be
=-> wrong) or Psycopg will not compile and you have to compile MXDateTime
=-> first.
=->
=-> I am a little hazy on the details right now and am pressed for time but
=-> I could send you some more information later this evening if you need
=-> more help. I just remember what a tough time I had until finally I got
=-> it working. Course, now it all works like a charm.
