hi...i'm new to this list. just trying to give Zope and shot and see if it'll work for me. For context, I'm coming from years of Frontier use on the Mac. i was wondering if anyone's gotten Zope running on Mac OS X server (theoretically, BSD 4.4 compliant). i already had built Python 1.5.2 and have been using it w/o incident. i downloaded the Zope 1.10.2 sources, and tried a build--which got pretty far along, but then failed on a number of counts and never created the config and launching files (the best i could tell). i did this real quick the other day, and didn't jot down notes on the problems--I just thought i'd drop a line before i dug too much and see if anyone's already been down this road....any pointers? ideas? if not--i'll get back w/ more details on the problems I'm having. thanks, Greg Pierce greg@turtleprod.com http://www.turtleprod.com/greg/ ---Slow and Steady Wins the Race---
Hi, Greg Yup. There was a note on the Python site from Jeffrey Shell with his solution. http://www.python.org/pipermail/pythonmac-sig/1999-May/001106.html I did something similar. Essentially: for Python: ./configure --with-next-framework --with-threads --with-dyld --prefix=[whatever] then put libpython1.5.dylib into /usr/lib No matter what you use for --prefix, this will put python and its development libraries in a really weird configuration that zope will not understand properly, so I symlinked the heck out of what I had to make it look like it was in "standard" locations. I suppose you could really move them around, too. adding LDLIBRARY=/usr/lib/libpython($VERSION).dylib into python's Makefile.pre.in in /lib/python1.5/config fixes the problems with finding the dylib change "sys.executable" to "[whatever]/bin/python" in wo_pcgi.py and do.py in your zope root. and I may have forgotten a thing or two, but it should compile and run. If you take better notes and get it working, you might post those to the list. I have a feeling OS X is going to be yet another popular platform for Zope. Now I need to try to get Mailman working... Good luck. --Jim Washington

Great, I'll be interested in hearing your impressions!

Jeffrey Shell here (jeffrey@digicool.com) slogged his way through getting it to work. There some problems with compiling the C extensions. --Paul
