I agree with Jens below. I installed Zope 2.4.3 to openBSD, and got the same problem with the same bit of code. The untar truncates the name of this C module. I documented my process, and made mention of fixing this problem. see: http://www.zope.org/Members/gking/ZEO%20install%20on%20openBSD cheers Graham this sounds like the errors you get on systems with a broken "tar" utility where the tarballs get botched during expansion (solaris, mac os x). the workaround is to use the gnu version of tar instead. jens On Friday, February 15, 2002, at 03:58 , Robin S.

So I followed Chris McDonough's advice and installed 2.1, and then 2.1.2. Still no luck:

Python 2.1.2 + Zope fresh from sources. The same two tarballs build and run on FreeBSD 4.5.
