Hello, Thank you for your hints. I successfully compiled python2.3.5 for OS 10.4, as described in Florent Guillaume's blog, but when I try to compile Zope, I get the same error: $ ./configure --prefix=/opt/Zope2.8 --with-python=/usr/local/bin/python2.3 Using Python interpreter at /usr/local/bin/python2.3 Configuring Zope installation - Zope top-level binary directory will be /opt/Zope2.8. - Makefile written. Next, run make. $ make "/usr/local/bin/python2.3" "/Users/spuhlema/Desktop/Zope-2.8.6-final/setup.py" \ build --build-base="/Users/spuhlema/Desktop/Zope-2.8.6-final/build-base/python-2.3" --build-lib="/Users/spuhlema/Desktop/Zope-2.8.6-final/build-base/python-2.3/build-lib" --build-scripts="/Users/spuhlema/Desktop/Zope-2.8.6-final/build-base/python-2.3/build-scripts" --build-temp="/Users/spuhlema/Desktop/Zope-2.8.6-final/build-base/python-2.3/build-temp" running build running build_py error: package directory 'build/lib/darwin-8/5/2-i386-2/4/zope/app/traversing/ftests' does not exist make: *** [build] Error 1 I guess Python doesn't compile equally on PowerPc and Intel. Any idea? 2006/3/19, Jens Vagelpohl <jens@dataflake.org>:
$ make "/usr/bin/python" "/Users/spuhlema/Desktop/Zope-2.8.6-final/ setup.py" \ build --build-base="/Users/spuhlema/Desktop/Zope-2.8.6-final/build-base/ python-2.3" --build-lib="/Users/spuhlema/Desktop/Zope-2.8.6-final/build-base/ python-2.3/build-lib" --build-scripts="/Users/spuhlema/Desktop/Zope-2.8.6-final/build- base/python-2.3/build-scripts" --build-temp="/Users/spuhlema/Desktop/Zope-2.8.6-final/build-base/ python-2.3/build-temp"
This line shows you are using the system Python at /usr/bin/python. Don't. It's no good at all for compiling anything. Run "configure" with the --with-python=/path/to/python flag to use a self-compiled Python.
I have never used the Fink Python. It is child's play to compile Python yourself (with the exception of Python 2.3.5 on OS X 10.4), so that's the way to go. Here's the instructions I work from:
http://www.zope.org/Members/jens/docs/Document.2003-12-27.2431
These are not written for OS X/i386, but I'd be surprised if they didn't work on both platforms.
