I'm having some trouble with the 'make install' stage of Zope-2.9 svn. Using python-2.4.2 on Gentoo linux. Zope-2.9.0b1 installed fine, but I needed the fix for get_transaction() ASAP. URL: svn://svn.zope.org/repos/main/Zope/branches/2.9 Revision: 40780 # ./configure --prefix=/usr/lib/zope-2.9.0 # make # make install (...) copying lib/python/zope/app/recorder/zope.app.recorder-configure.zcml -> /usr/lib/zope-2.9.0/zopeskel/etc/package-includes copying lib/python/zope/app/pluggableauth/zope.app.pluggableauth-configure.zcml -> /usr/lib/zope-2.9.0/zopeskel/etc/package-includes copying lib/python/zope/app/securitypolicy/securitypolicy-meta.zcml -> /usr/lib/zope-2.9.0/zopeskel/etc/package-includes copying lib/python/zope/testbrowser/testbrowser-ftesting.zcml -> /usr/lib/zope-2.9.0/zopeskel/etc/package-includes copying lib/python/zope/formlib/formlib-configure.zcml -> /usr/lib/zope-2.9.0/zopeskel/etc/package-includes copying lib/python/zope/app/securitypolicy/securitypolicy.zcml -> /usr/lib/zope-2.9.0/zopeskel/etc [ -f /usr/lib/zope-2.9.0/bin/python ] || ln -sfn "/usr/bin/python" /usr/lib/zope-2.9.0/bin/python Zope binaries installed successfully. Now run '/usr/lib/zope-2.9.0/bin/mkzopeinstance.py' This leaves (most visibly) many missing files in /usr/lib/zope-2.9.0/bin/. Only the 'python' symlink, and 'zconfig zconfig_schema2html zdctl.py zdrun.py' are installed there. Other files may be missing if they came afterwards, I don't have information on that. Is this line indicating a terminating error in make install?

Now run '/usr/lib/zope-2.9.0/bin/mkzopeinstance.py' Thanks for any insight on the issue. I don't think I want to run Zope in-place from the working copy.
