Alex, I have run into this error as well. I solved it by linking cPickle.so from $SOFTWARE_HOME/lib/python into $SOFTWARE_HOME/lib/python/ZODB. I'm not sure that's a good final solution, though, but it's an okay workaround for now (YMMV!). It seems that ZEO uses a later version of cPickle than Zope 2.3.3, at least according to Jeremy Hylton at DC. I'm copying this to zodb-dev@zope.org, which is the best place for ZEO questions and problems. Perhaps someone there could enlighten both of us as to a better solution?

I have tried to follow the "Advanced Production Site with ZEO" from http://www.zope.org/Members/dshaw/AdvancedSiteSetup but have not been able to make it work. I am trying to use Zope-2.3.3 and ZEO-1.0b3 on a Solaris 8 box. I have followed the steps exactly (all the directory names are the same, and I have used the configuration files and startup scripts from that page. In the log file (from STUPID_LOG_FILE in zope.conf) I get:

If anyone can tell from this what has gone wrong please let me know. If there are any other better howtows, please let me know. I don't think this one gave enough details. Since I am new to both Zope and Python, when it doesn't work...I really don't know where to look.
