I fixed the tar-ball generation part of the makefile and recreated the 2.10.0 and 2.9.5 archives with the right permissions.
Yes, that helped. Thank you! A few related notes though: Strange: when I compare the new 2.9.5 tar ball with the old one I got a few days before, there are more differences than just some permission changes. Here are the tar files in my download dir: $ ls -ltr Zope-2.*tgz # edited a bit to prevent long lines. 6977165 2006-10-02 17:41 Zope-2.9.5-final.ori.tgz 7123131 2006-10-03 09:42 Zope-2.10.0-final.ori.tgz 6984923 2006-10-04 16:27 Zope-2.9.5-final.tgz 7122626 2006-10-05 12:45 Zope-2.10.0-final.tgz $ diff -q -r Zope-2.9.5-final.ori Zope-2.9.5-final Files Zope-2.9.5-final.ori/lib/python/zope/configuration/config.py and Zope-2.9.5-final/lib/python/zope/configuration/config.py differ Files Zope-2.9.5-final.ori/lib/python/zope/configuration/xmlconfig.py and Zope-2.9.5-final/lib/python/zope/configuration/xmlconfig.py differ And some more of those lines. These differences are not about permissions, but real content. So I'm not sure what happened there. $ diff -r Zope-2.10.0-final.ori Zope-2.10.0-final gives no output, so that means only permission changes in the new 2.10.0. That's good. BTW, after a ./configure, make, sudo make install I get: $ find -user root ./lib/python/zope.proxy ./lib/python/zope.proxy/proxy.h ./build-base/python-2.4/build-lib/version.txt So those three files (in the directory where I extracted the tar ball to) are owned by root, which is a bit strange. No big deal, bit if this can be fixed, it would be nice. Anyway, the new tarballs work. -- Maurits van Rees | http://maurits.vanrees.org/ [NL] Work | http://zestsoftware.nl/ GnuPG key | http://maurits.vanrees.org/var/gpgkey.asc "Do only what only you can do." --- Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
