I am running Debian testing (SPARC) with the 2.3.2-2 Zope deb, trying to install ZEO, and am hung up on the storage server install becuase, even in the simplest of cases, I cannot get lib/python/ZEO/start.py to do anything... I get the same issue with ZEO 1.0b1 and 1.0b3. There are a bunch of try: ... except: pass statements in the start.py code, and I'm sure I'm getting hit with one of them; it's too bad there are not more debugging messages in there... Since there are no tracebacks, below is the best I have (a shell transcript) Under Debian, Zope is installed at /usr/lib/zope as a program root (and thus ZEO, unpacked here, with ZEO1.0b3/ZEO copied to lib/python, so that there is a lib/python/ZEO). /var/lib/zope is the instance home and contains a var (/var/lib/zope/var) directory with Data.fs, log, and pid files. Any help/thoughts would be appreciated...
