Hi Eric, I too don't know why the Python module compilation should be running tests. [Fellow newbie scratches his head.] Well now, I eventually managed to install Python 2.1.1 and run the test without failure. I therefore also built Zope 2.4.0 from the sources, being careful to point it at the Python 2.1 executable. As for the Monitor Server not starting, well the z2.py script sets the monitor server port number to 0, so it shouldn't start anyway! And I only just figured out why the init.d script (which I got from a Zope-on-Redhat start-up script How-To) was hanging. The script in the How-To did not run the Zope start script in the background! So everything seems hunky dory for the time being! :) Cheers, /Ben

Hey Ben, Let me start by saying that I don't have the foggiest idea of what's going on. :) Read on only if you want to hear my newbie babblings... Why is the installation running unit tests? I don't know anything about formal unit testing in Zope or Python (except what I just read in the /data/zope/2-4-0/lib/python2.1/test/Readme file) but it seems strange that unit tests would be run during installation. Assuming that they ARE supposed to be running, a totally blind shot in the dark would be to verify that the .../test/output files and folders are read/writeable by the user doing the installing/running. Aside from that, I would try temporarily moving the "test" and "output" directories to see if that solves the problem. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Hopefully someone with more experience will jump in here. Eric.

Hi Eric,
Thanks for your reply. Here are the error messages:
Compiling python modules File "/data/zope/2-4-0/lib/python2.1/test/nocaret.py", line 2 [x for x in x] = x SyntaxError: can't assign to list comprehension SyntaxError: from __future__ imports must occur at the beginning of the file (test_future3.py, line 3) SyntaxError: from __future__ imports must occur at the beginning of the file (test_future4.py, line 3) SyntaxError: from __future__ imports must occur at the beginning of the file (test_future5.py, line 4) SyntaxError: from __future__ imports must occur at the beginning of the file (test_future6.py, line 3) SyntaxError: from __future__ imports must occur at the beginning of the file (test_future7.py, line 3)
Someone else also reported the same error messages on RedHat 7.1, so I think we must be doing something wrong, though I can't see what! :)
/Ben

Hi Ben, I successfully installed Zope binaries on RH7.1. I'm not sure what changed from 7.0 to 7.1, tho. Can you post the error message(s) you are receiving? They would be helpful in diagnosing the problem. Eric.

Hi,
Has anyone successfully installed Zope 2.4.0 on RedHat 7.0 from the binary distribution?
Compilation of the Python modules generates a bunch of error messages, caused by what seems to be syntax errors. The start script hangs when attempting to start the ZServer Monitor Server. This causes autostart via an rc.d script to hang the system boot process. Manual start results in Zope coming up despite the start script hanging. I don't know if anything is seriously broken by the error messages and the start script hang.
I have tried installing from the source distribution, but my attempt at installing Python 2.1.1 resulted in problems, which is why I am now trying the binary distribution.
Thanks,
/Ben
