Since I haven't found an applicable Zope binary for BSDi on an Intel box, I've decided to try and build Zope myself. I'm trying to build it on a remote virtual server running BSDi 3.0 and either get a traceback or no errors but without generation of username/password. The virtual Unix host is running BSDI BSD/OS 3.0 Virtual Kernel #0 I built Python 1.5.2 with threads and also added -rdynamic to LDSHARED in Makefile.pre.in Per the Zope Installatino FAQ, I've also tried changing do('make') to do('make -k') in inst/do.py When I run "python w_pcgi.py" the build goes quite a long ways and finally crashes with: creating default access file Traceback (innermost last): File "w_pcgi.py", line 111, in ? if __name__=='__main__': main(sys.argv[0]) File "w_pcgi.py", line 109, in main import wo_pcgi; wo_pcgi.main(me) File "/usr/home/clearlyo/util/Zope-2.0.1-src/wo_pcgi.py", line 106, in main import zpasswd; zpasswd.write_access(home, user, group) File "/usr/home/clearlyo/util/Zope-2.0.1-src/zpasswd.py", line 128, in write_access pw = pw + whrandom.choice(pw_choices) File "/usr/home/clearlyo/usr/local/lib/python1.5/whrandom.py", line 97, in choice return seq[int(self.random() * len(seq))] OverflowError: float too large to convert If I try to build again, I don't always get this traceback, but I never get a username or password as I expect per the installation instructions. If I try to run ./start, I get this traceback: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/home/clearlyo/util/Zope-2.0.1-src/z2.py", line 375, in ? exec "import "+MODULE in {} File "<string>", line 1, in ?
