I could not start ParsedXML.

I had installed Zope 2.6.1, the most recent stable release of Zope on solaris 8. Everything seems to work fine. then I unpacked ParsedXML-s1.3.1.tgz <http://www.zope.org/Members/faassen/ParsedXML/ParsedXML-1.3.1.tgz/view> under installationDir/lib/python/Products. now, I could not start the server properly. I got the following error message. I followed the instructions of installing parsedXML from the download page. Please help. Thanks a lot.

You need the Python interface to the XML parser expat. Sometimes it is already installed, but apparently not at your installation. It comes with PyXML: http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/ Be sure you're installing it in a place Zope can find it (on the Python path.) If you're using a precompiled Zope, it probably uses its own Python and not the system one. --jcc
