Roger that. Successfully compiled Zope 2.5.1 with Python 2.1.3. When trying to run the "start" script, however, it complains of permission problems on the var directory: 2002-06-05T16:28:39 PANIC(300) z2 Startup exception Traceback (innermost last): File /home/smaring/zope/Zope-2.5.1-src/z2.py, line 690, in ? IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/smaring/zope/Zope-2.5.1-src/var/Z2.pid' And rightly so considering the permissions: drwxrwxr-x 2 1000 users 4096 Jun 5 12:28 var/ I added root to the users group in /etc/group, since I was trying to run the start script as root, but that didn't help. It must be trying to run as a different user. Anybody know what is going here? Or where I can find the "FAQ"? Thanks.

I'm venturing away from my J2EE cave for a bit to explore Python and Zope.
I've compiled and installed Python 2.2.1 on my Linux box. I'm trying to compile Zope 2.5.1. I get the following error:

Is this "Makefile.pre.in" something that used to be in this directory on older versions of Python?
Thanks. Steve Maring Tarpon Springs, FL USA
