Derrick, I was able to replicate the problem. This is likely due to the custom "install scheme" imposed by Zope (to work around some distutils deficiences, ie. being unable to specify the "real" install directory in a x-platform way). I didn't dig into the underlying problem because your method of installation isn't really supported. But if you do the installation in the way explained in doc/INSTALL.txt, everything does work. ./configure --with-python=/some/python --prefix=/some/path make make install HTH, - C On Wed, 2003-08-27 at 00:13, Derrick 'dman' Hudson wrote:
I've been using 2.7.0-b1 for a while, so I figured I'd take a look at b2 now. However :
$ python2.3 setup.py install --prefix /usr/local/opt/zope-2.7.0-b2 running install running build running build_py running build_ext running install_lib running install_data running install running build running build_py running install_lib running install running build running build_scripts error: mkpath: 'name' must be a string (got None)

The build succeeds but the install fails. Is something wrong on my system or has the setup.py script changed in some way?

PS. This is on a debian testing/unstable system.
PPS. You don't see any actions in the steps that didn't fail because they already completed successfully the first time. If you want to see more output I can clean out the build and run it again.
