Hi Complete novice when it comes to Python and Zope - but I've decided that it's time to learn. For those of you who don't like to read subject lines, environment is Mac OS X 10.2.6. I've followed Jens' instructions "Zope and Python on Mac OS X 10.1 and higher" and see a failure when building Zope. The error thrown is: building 'Products.PluginIndexes.TextIndex.Splitter.ISO_8859_1_Splitter.ISO_8859_ 1_Splitter' extension error: file 'Products/PluginIndexes/TextIndex/Splitter/ISO_8859_1_Splitter/src/ ISO_8859_1_Splitter.c' does not exist Traceback (most recent call last): File "wo_pcgi.py", line 45, in ? if __name__=='__main__': main(sys.argv[0]) File "wo_pcgi.py", line 33, in main import build_extensions File "/usr/local/source/Zope-2.6.1-src/inst/build_extensions.py", line 24, in ? do('%s setup.py build_ext -i' % sys.executable) File "/usr/local/source/Zope-2.6.1-src/inst/do.py", line 32, in do if i and picky: raise SystemError, i SystemError: 256 Would someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Failing that, until I'm better at paddling in the Python/Zope pool, would someone point me in the vague direction of where I should be looking to fix this problem.
