I've downloaded the src of Zope 2.2.1 on my UltraSparc running Solaris 8, built it ok, but when I try run ./start it it dumps core with a segmentation fault. Is this problem known? Anything I can do? I am completely new to both Python and Zope ...

I don't know of any problems inherent to running on Sol8. It seems like maybe it could have something to do with your Python installation. One way you could test that is to cd to the lib/python dir of your Zope installation, start your local Python interpreter and try:

import ExtensionClass

I've tried that and it dumped. I'll have to poll the Python knowledge base for that ... Python was built using gcc as Zope was. Thanks anyway Michele
