Okay, yahooing around I found I have to set the path. But I still get this error:

root@server167:zope/instance2/var (177) set PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/zope/278/lib/python root@server167:zope/instance2/var (178) python /usr/local/zope/278/lib/python/ZODB/fsrecover.py Data.fs Data.fs.recover Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/zope/278/lib/python/ZODB/fsrecover.py", line 80, in ? import ZODB ImportError: No module named ZODB

The python is the correct one. I re-set python so that the one that comes up first in the path is the one Zope uses.

What shell are you using? That's not how you set an environment variable in any of the bourne-style shells (sh, bash, ksh). For those, you would use: export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/zope/278/lib/python:$PYTHONPATH And it's not how you set environment vars in tcsh either. For that, you would use: setenv PYTHONPATH /usr/local/zope/278/lib/python:$PYTHONPATH In both cases you would normally append the existing PYTHONPATH as shown here, but that's not your current problem. I'm not clear on what exactly "set" does in tcsh; in bash it sets positional parameters, which isn't what you want: pw@kermit ~ $ echo $FOO pw@kermit ~ $ set FOO=bar pw@kermit ~ $ echo $FOO pw@kermit ~ $ echo $1 FOO=bar pw@kermit ~ $ export FOO=bar pw@kermit ~ $ echo $FOO bar -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com
