hi list, i am using Zope,Python and Plone for around 2 weeks now locally on an OSX machine. now i planned to port a rather big site to ZOPE, but i run into the following problem: our linux machine is running trustix TSL linux, which has python 2.2.3 installed system wide. Now, as i want to run the latest stable ZOPE version and also Plone 2.0.5, i am thinking about how to proceed.
The recommended versions at the moment (for Plone 2.0.x) are Python 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 and Zope 2.7.x
i was wondering if it is possible to install a current Python release in a local user dir and run ZOPE from that custom Python version? any clues or instructions how to do so?
thanks! Matthias Tarasiewicz
Install Python from the source. Use the prefix-option when running configure, from Python's "./configure --help": By default, `make install' will install all the files in `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib' etc. You can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' using `--prefix', for instance `--prefix=$HOME'. The same applies to Zope, but here the --with-python option is needed, too. See ./configure --help HTH, Wolfram
