Thanks for your input. So, I went ahead and installed Zope 2.8.4 and the configuration script used Python 2.3.5 which comes installed with Mac OS X Tiger. Now, when I try to execute ./runzope, I get the following error: File "/usr/local/lib/python/persistent/interfaces.py", line 19, in ? from zope.interface import Interface ImportError: No module named zope.interface Why is this module missing? - Asad On Tue, 29 Nov 2005, Andreas Jung wrote:

Hello. I just installed Zope 2.7.0 on Mac OS X Tiger and I running it with MacPython 2.3.3. I installed Zope in /usr/local. Now, when I try to execute './runzope' or './zopectl start', I receive the following error:

Zope 2.7.0? This version is *very* ancient. Try a recent version (2.8.4) and possibly use a Python version compiled from the Python sources directly.

Looks like something went wrong with your Zope 2.8.4 installation. "zope.interface" is the Zope 3 (part of Zope since Zope 2.8.x) interface module. It is there in a correct installation. Did you "configure; make; make [install|inplace]" correctly? Do you start Zope in a correct instance (create with "mkzopeinstance")? -- Dieter
