which tar did you use when uncompressing the files? it must be gnu tar, and not the standard tar that ships with solaris. jens On Saturday, April 13, 2002, at 03:49 , Longley, Josh wrote:

I've been spending the night trying to get Zope to compile on my system. It is an Intel based Solaris 8 box. I'm (now), using Python 2.1.2. I've poked and prodded at it every which way I can think of, but always end up with the following error:

If anyone can shead some light on this I would be very happy.

Thank you,
