Hi Jens, Thanks for the tip, i installed the DevTools and compiled Python 2.3.2 and i compiled Zope 2.7.0-b3 (no other 2.7 source found) but when i try to run zope i got the following message. running install_data copying utilities/README.txt -> /Users/dennis/Zope-2.7.0-b3/lib/python/../../bin Zope binaries installed successfully. Now run '/Users/dennis/Zope-2.7.0-b3/bin/mkzopeinstance.py' "/usr/bin/python" "/Users/dennis/Zope-2.7.0-b3/bin/mkzopeinstance.py" \ --dir="/Users/dennis/Zope-2.7.0-b3" Please choose a username and password for the initial user. These will be the credentials you use to initially manage your new Zope instance.

The message in that log is pretty obvious. You have no compiler on the system. Install the Developer Tools and try again.

Hi 2all

I'm trying to build Python 2.3.2 on my new Apple Powerbook G4 but as you can see in the config.log file i receive a error when i do "./configure". I'm using the document fomr http://zope.org/Members/jens/docs/Document.2003-12-27.2431. Is there somebody out there who can help me on this. Because i can't find GNUTAR package i used OpenUp to unTar the source package. I moved then the directories to my user directory.

On Windows no problems but now i want to use MAC

regards, Dennis Mekel
