After two days of trying to get this to work I've more or less run out 
of patience. I won't recap the story, since its too long and arduous to 
both write and read, but I ended up starting from scratch with a fresh 
install of RedHat 9.  I've got MDB Tools, iODBC, unixODBC, mxODBC and 
mxODBC Zope DA installed.  But, I can't get mxODBC to work.

When I start Zope, I get this error:

[root at zulu downloads]# eGenix mxODBC Zope DA: trying iODBC interface... 
loaded
eGenix mxODBC Zope DA: trying unixODBC interface... loaded

ImportError: eGenix mxODBC Zope DA requires mxODBC 2.1.x or later

If I run Zope's built in python from the command line, I am able to 
import the mx module.  Any suggestions?
