which tar utility did you use to untar the sources? if your unix platform is solaris or darwin/OS X then you will have problems with the built-in tar. use GNU tar instead. jens On Tuesday, March 5, 2002, at 12:06 , Julian Baker wrote:

Hi all

I'm having problems with installing Zope 2.5.0 src on a UNIX platform (python 2.1) when i enter the compile command

python wo_pcgi.py

or

python w_pcgi.py

it displays the following error after a while...

9_1_Splitter.o'. Stop. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/user_data/users/JULIAN/Zope/Zope-2.5.0-src/w_pcgi.py", line 39 , in ? if __name__=='__main__': main(sys.argv[0]) File "/user_data/users/JULIAN/Zope/Zope-2.5.0-src/w_pcgi.py", line 37 , in main import wo_pcgi; wo_pcgi.main(me) File "/user_data/users/JULIAN/Zope/Zope-2.5.0-src/wo_pcgi.py", line 3 3, in main import build_extensions File "/user_data/users/JULIAN/Zope/Zope-2.5.0-src/inst/build_extensio ns.py", line 38, in ?

It's not due to install without root access as the System Administrator has the same problem/error. I have looked at the Zope site but unable to find a solution or even anyone else having the same problem. Any ideas would be greatly recieved.

Hello Julian Baker

SystemError: 512 Do you have the python headers installed? (Should be the case if yo installed python-2.1.x from source)
