I got the python sources did ./configure, make, make test, make altinstall Then used the python in the alt install directory to configure the zope source : (./configure --with-python=/usr/local/bin/python2.3 --prefix=/usr/local/lib/Zope ) and voila! Move along, nothing to see here........ Regards, Mehmet Hi, I'm trying to get zope working on an ibook running Mandrake 9.1 ppc. I've got python 2.3.3 installed but couldn't build zope from sources: error: invalid Python installation: unable to open /usr/lib/python2.3/config/Makefile (No such file or directory) Found an RPM zope-2.7.0rc2-2mdk.rpm, it installed OK, however, when I start it (it uses a script in init.d) I get an error: Starting zope: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Zope/Startup/zopectl.py", line 207, in ? main() File "/usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Zope/Startup/zopectl.py", line 190, in main c.onecmd(" ".join(options.args)) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/cmd.py", line 210, in onecmd return func(arg) File "/usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Zope/Startup/zopectl.py", line 134, in do_start ZDCmd.do_start(self, arg) File "/usr/lib/zope/./build/build-base/python-2.3/build-lib/zdaemon/zdctl.py", line 214, in do_start File "/usr/lib/python2.3/os.py", line 543, in spawnvp return _spawnvef(mode, file, args, None, execvp) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/os.py", line 504, in _spawnvef wpid, sts = waitpid(pid, 0) OSError: [Errno 10] No child processes The binary rpm says it requires python 2.3.3, I would rather install from source, can anyone help with this?
