Hi; I'm trying to build 2.10.x on a CentOS 5.4 server. I get the error that I need to upgrade my Python from 2.4.3 to (I believe) 2.4.6. The problem is that I really can't do that using rpms unless I roll my own. Before doing that I wanted to consult you all and ask your advice.
You should be able to override the "allowed" versions of Python: $ cd /path/to/Zope-2.10.11 $ ./configure --with-python=/usr/bin/python && make inplace It is unlikely that whatever bugfix was in Python 2.4.4 will keep Zope from working, although running with that version in production might be less stable somehow.
PS Another option would be to build this on my Mac, but it doesn't look like Zope supports that platform.
Zope will build pretty much anywhere the corresponding Python will build. Lots of developers use Zope on their OS/X laptops, for instance.
