Having just successfully installed and setup Zope and Squishdot on an 486 Linux box (Debian packages made it dead easy), I thought I'd move over to a SUN box as it is quicker and I want to run a discussion group for the intranet here. [SunOS 5.5.1 Generic sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-10] After installing the latest python (and then re-compiling with threads, doh) I unpacked Zope-2.1.4-src and ran wo_pcgi.py. Everything seemed to go fine, so I simply fired it up using ./start. After a couple of seconds Zope (okay, Python) falls over reporting that the ExtensionClass module couldn't be found at the import in ZODB/__init__.py. Actually, after investigation, none of the modules would load from an import even though they all have .so files present in the lib/python dir. Now, I don't know a thing about Python so I don't know where to look to sort this out... Any ideas? Is it something to do with shared libraries being handled wrongly on SunOS 5? Only other thing I can think of is search paths. I install outside of /usr, but I can't imagine that would be a problem. Do I need to set a PYTHONPATH or something? Help... -- Steve.
