I got this same error when I was trying to compile it under Solaris
2.6.  My solution was to switch to using MySQLdb instead of
MySQLmodule.  You can find MySQLdb in the Contributed Products section
of www.zope.org.  You'll have to patch the ZMySQLDA to be able to use it
(the patch is included in the MySQLdb distribution).
