this is a FAQ: you must use python 2.1 with zope 2.5.1. python 2.2 is not officially spported. as far as i know this is clearly mentioned in the docs that come with the source distribution. jens On Wednesday, June 5, 2002, at 11:41 , Maring, Steve wrote:

I'm venturing away from my J2EE cave for a bit to explore Python and Zope.

I've compiled and installed Python 2.2.1 on my Linux box. I'm trying to compile Zope 2.5.1. I get the following error:

[root@hebe Zope-2.5.1-src]# python wo_pcgi.py

Is this "Makefile.pre.in" something that used to be in this directory on older versions of Python?

Thanks. Steve Maring Tarpon Springs, FL USA
