I'm installing Plone from source onto a RedHat EL4 test server using http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/setup-from-source as my reference.
You probably should send your Plone related questions to the "plone-users" mailing list...
... "Extract the Plone tarball. This will give you a folder called Plone-2.1 (presuming you have version 2.1), in which you will see a number of products folders, such as CMFPlone and CMFCore. Copy all these product folders (not the top-level Plone- folder) into ~/zope/instance1/Products/."
The Plone-2.1.2/CMFPlone/install.txt lists these as mandatory
**REQUIREMENTS**
I would expect that all those requirements are in your "Plone-2.1" tarball -- maybe with the exception of "Zope 2.7.8/2.8.5). Reread the instructions again; somewhere you will see the "~zope/instance1" to be mentioned for the first time. This is a so called Zope "INSTANCE_HOME". It has a subdirectory "Products". The prescription tells you to copy the products extracted from the Plone tarball into this "Products" subdirectory. -- Dieter
