this sounds like the errors you get on systems with a broken "tar" utility where the tarballs get botched during expansion (solaris, mac os x). the workaround is to use the gnu version of tar instead. jens On Friday, February 15, 2002, at 03:58 , Robin S. Socha wrote:

So I followed Chris McDonough's advice and installed 2.1, and then 2.1.2. Still no luck:
Python 2.1.2 + Zope fresh from sources. The same two tarballs build and run on FreeBSD 4.5.
