This line shows you are using the system Python at /usr/bin/python. Don't. It's no good at all for compiling anything. Run "configure" with the --with-python=/path/to/python flag to use a self-compiled Python.

I have never used the Fink Python. It is child's play to compile Python yourself (with the exception of Python 2.3.5 on OS X 10.4), so that's the way to go. Here's the instructions I work from:

http://www.zope.org/Members/jens/docs/Document.2003-12-27.2431

These are not written for OS X/i386, but I'd be surprised if they didn't work on both platforms.

you need zlib support compiled into python, this is only done, if the zlib header files are found at configure time do you have it?

Umh, take a look at the error message. Do you see anything that looks like a zlib problem? I don't.

last time i installed a zope on debian and forgot to install the zlib headers and the error was also far away from complaining about zlib, so i thought it might be this on osx i would suggest using darwinports anyway

Tried with darwinports compiled form source (best on mac intel), and got the same error.

$ ./configure --with-python=/opt/local/bin/python2.3 && make ... error: package directory 'build/lib/darwin-8/5/2-i386-2/4/zope/app/ traversing/ftests' does not exist make: *** [build] Error 1

i don't know the reason, but for me the above path is wrong, on other archs, it is a single directory for the build i think it should read: build/lib/darwin-8.5.2-i386-2.4/zope/app/ traversing/ftests somehow the dots got replaced maybe it is a zpkgsetup problem? on my old powerbook it is: lib.darwin-8.5.0-Power_Macintosh-2.4 btw: there is something wrong with the python version, you configured 2.3 but the lib directory ends with 2/4(2.4)

Anybody can tell me where I could start to try to fix this?

Hello, I re-installed Tiger on my Mac from scratch, and tried to compile Zope (with python from Fink). Hopefully, everything went fine this time. Then I succeeded to instanciate Zope.

Something is wrong with your "cPersistent.so" file.

It should be a dynamically loaded shared object but somehow it is not.

I cannot tell you why...

Manuel, Last time I saw cPersistent.so mentioned as a problem it had to do with conflicting python versions. No idea either, otherwise. Did you mention your zope version *and* the python versions you are using? (check your control panel) Didnt see the start of this thread. David

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I don't see how a packaged Python that is possibly compiled with dubious options and split up along dubious lines into Python, Python- dev and Python-whatever is better than a self-compiled Python on OS X.

Hello Dieter,

Thanks for your help, I have Zope 2.8.6 and Python 2.3.5 compiled with Fink. I also had the same problem with python 2.3.5 from Apple, which is known to lack some features, so you might be right with conflicting Python version. Under Unbutu, I used to compile Zope with python-devel package installed, but can't find it for os x. I'm going to try a few more python distro, like darwinport or macpython to see if it works.

Hello David, sorry, I meant you before, but hey, hello too Dieter ;-) I think I broke the thread, sorry for reposting: I finally manage to install and run Zope 2.8.6 on Mac Intel after installing the Universal package of python 2.4.3 for os x (http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.4.3/). Then I did the usual unix stuff: $./configure --with-python=/usr/local/bin/python --prefix=/opt/Zope2.8 && make &&make install $ /opt/Zope2.8/bin/mkzopeinstance.py Even if this Python version is not supported, I didn't notice (yet;-) any problem. As far as I know, it's the 1st Zope 2.8.6 and Plone 2.11 on Mac Intel and it's at least as fast as on Linux !!! Thank you all for your help and happy zoping!
