.... Zope first complained (while compiling) that it couldn't find file

Indeed, there was no such file. But there *was* such a file here:

/usr/local/bin/Python-2.2.2/Makefile.pre.in

so I created a symbolic link (didn't figure it would hurt any ;) Now I get this error:

Compiling extensions in lib/python cp /usr/local/lib/python2.2/config/Makefile.pre.in . make -f Makefile.pre.in boot PYTHON=/usr/local/bin/python make: *** No rule to make target `boot'. Stop.

Apparently, your "Makefile.pre.in" is not the right one. Usually, you must install the development package of Python to get it or generate Python from source. Dieter
