I get this error:

Connecting to database... DBDirect: user error (loadShared: couldn't load `/usr/lib/libz.so' because /usr/lib/libz.so: invalid ELF header

Any idea how to fix it ? (What to watch for?)

latest cvs ghc, latest darcs hs-plugins (dons told me to ask the haskelldb how they managed to run it..) I've tried compiling with -lz option. Same result. I'm also posting here because I don't know how frequently the haskelldb mailinglist is read yet.. It doesn't seem to be used by that much people yet.

I don't think that this is HaskellDB specific, so I'll post my reply here as well (this is the same as my reply to you post to haskelldb-users): I once ran into a similar problem in ghci when I had an unneccessary "-lc" in the package configuration, and my libc.so was a linker script. I'm guessing that this is the same problem, since DBDirect uses hs-plugins to load a module which requires libz. Maybe you could try loading the HSQL MySQL module into ghci and see if you get the same problem. If you do, you could try to remove libz from the extra-libraries list in the package configuration for hsql-mysql. /Björn
