Hi, Just to let you know that if you use a temporary build directory to build Zope 2.10, the setup.py script fails. I know, I am using python 2.5 (making some tests) but this issue is unrelated. Below, "build" is an empty directory and "src" is the untared Zope source. STEP 1 cd build/Zope-2.10.0-b2 && /opt/pperegri/F2BUILDS/F2.15/src/Zope-2.10.0-b2/configure --prefix=/opt/pperegri/F2BUILDS/F2.15/opt/Zope-2.10.0-b2 --optimize --with-python=/opt/pperegri/F2BUILDS/F2.15/opt/Python-2.5/bin/python Using Python interpreter at /opt/pperegri/F2BUILDS/F2.15/opt/Python-2.5/bin/python Configuring Zope installation - Zope top-level binary directory will be /opt/pperegri/F2BUILDS/F2.15/opt/Zope-2.10.0-b2. - Distutils install flags will be "--optimize=1 --no-compile" - Makefile written. Next, run make. => OK (generates makefile in the build directory) STEP 2 "/opt/pperegri/F2BUILDS/F2.15/opt/Python-2.5/bin/python" "/opt/pperegri/F2BUILDS/F2.15/src/Zope-2.10.0-b2/setup.py" \ build --build-base="/opt/pperegri/F2BUILDS/F2.15/build/Zope-2.10.0-b2/build-base/p ython-2.5" --build-lib="/opt/pperegri/F2BUILDS/F2.15/build/Zope-2.10.0-b2/build-base/py thon-2.5/build-lib" --build-scripts="/opt/pperegri/F2BUILDS/F2.15/build/Zope-2.10.0-b2/build-bas e/python-2.5/build-scripts" --build-temp="/opt/pperegri/F2BUILDS/F2.15/build/Zope-2.10.0-b2/build-base/p ython-2.5/build-temp" => FAILURE: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/pperegri/F2BUILDS/F2.15/src/Zope-2.10.0-b2/setup.py", line 53, in <module> import versions ImportError: No module named versions make: *** [build] Error 1 CAUSE: The problem comes from this code in setup.py (which did not exist in Zope 2.8): sys.path.insert(0, 'inst') import versions del sys.path[0] ZOPE_VERSION = '%s%s-%s' % (versions.ZOPE_MAJOR_VERSION, versions.ZOPE_MINOR_VERSION, versions.VERSION_RELEASE_TAG) If I change it to: try: MAKEFILEDIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)) except: MAKEFILEDIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(sys.argv[0])) sys.path.insert(0, '%s/inst'%MAKEFILEDIR) import versions del sys.path[0] ZOPE_VERSION = '%s%s-%s' % (versions.ZOPE_MAJOR_VERSION, versions.ZOPE_MINOR_VERSION, versions.VERSION_RELEASE_TAG) Everything works fine. Thanks for reading up to this point :) Pascal ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
