Those SyntaxError exceptions relate to unittests in the standard Python libraries. Unfortunately they print out to stdout (and make the unknowing user think there is a problem) and aren't surpressed by Zope's installer. It seems Zope runs the unit tests on install and these seem to be verbose for some reason (I haven't looked into it to deeply yet). So basically, these error messages don't return anything helpful. Does the installation continue past the compilation or does it bomb out? Do you get a traceback? Eron On Tuesday 15 January 2002 01:08 pm, you wrote:
Nice to see yet another beta release of Zope 2.5!
However, I don't get this release "installed" on Linux. When I try to run ./install with the extracted tgz file, I get the following error message:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- Compiling python modules File "/home/roland/Zope-2.5.0b4-linux2-x86/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)

Any clue what goes wrong? Roland
