How-To: Building Zope and Python on Mac OS X
hi, I'm fairly new to unix so please bear with me. I installed python on a UFS volume. When at the CLI I try... /Volumes/unix/Python/python python2 comes up fine. However, when I try and run the wo_pcgi.py script as mentioned in the How-To, nothing seems to happen. When I try to run zope...like this... /Volumes/unix/Python/python z2.py The same thing, I'm just returned to the prompt. (Unusual things do seem to be happening to permissions when Classic and OSX are involved with the same directories) have I missed something else? So close... cheers tom p.s With help...I did manage to get zope on MacOS Public going, so there's hope p.p.s Has anybody connected zope to FrontBase or OpenBase yet?
AFAIK apple does not support OS X on a UFS partition at all right now. the howto by jeffrey assumes an extended HFS partition. jens on 3/28/01 8:46, tom smith at tom@othermedia.com wrote:

During OSX installation, the user is offered a choice of HFS or UFS. If you're planning to run the Classic environment with OSX, you need to use HFS. If not, I believe you're free to use UFS. Jim Harrison Univ. of Pittsburgh
I've just got all this working on an HFS volume. I had to use Zope 2.3.0, and 2.2.4 gave me an error when building and 2.3.1b3 kept giving me dynamic loader errors (as mentioned in http://www.zope.org/Members/jshell/buildingOnX). Did you - edit inst/do.py - do /usr/local/bin/python wo_pcgi.py ??? Then do ./start You shouldn't need to run z2.py directly. Simon On 28/3/01 2:46 pm, "tom smith" <tom@othermedia.com> wrote:
