Hi all, I've been checking out the archives in an attempt to find an already-published answer to my problem and have only found one thread which comes close to describing what I'm seeing. When run 'configure', there are no problems. Once I try making things, I get strange errors which I suppose are probably python-related: slimemold[52]:/tmp/Zope-2.9.1% ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/bin/zope Configuring Zope installation Testing for an acceptable Python interpreter...

I've also attempted some of the suggestions in the one thread that seemed to pertain to what I was seeing: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/zope/users/179040?search_string=%2Bmak... slimemold[54]:/tmp/Zope-2.9.1% make -v GNU Make 3.80 slimemold[55]:/tmp/Zope-2.9.1% uname -a Linux slimemold.xxxxxxxxx.org 2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 #1 Wed Nov 9 19:01:56 EST 2005 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I compiled the python 2.4.2 rather than used an rpm as part of the troubleshooting process. Does anyone have any ideas why there errors are popping up upon 'make'? Thanks in advance! Chris ---- Some people wear Superman pajamas. Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas.
