I'm an avid BeOS user, and I thought I'd point out a few cross-platform issues with Zope's web interface: Under NetPositive (the BeOS web browser), the management interface acts as "view." What I mean by that is if I click on a folder (whatever/ manage_workspace) it redirects to the index_html file. If I manually type in whatever/manage_main, I can get there, but this is not automatic. Is this because NetPositive doesn't understand Javascript? Also, BeOS does have python 1.5.2, but Zope doesn't actually compile . Here's the relevant info: In file included from /boot/home/Desktop/Zope-2.0.1-src/pcgi/pcgi- wrapper.c:51: /boot/home/Desktop/Zope-2.0.1-src/pcgi/pcgi.h:59: sys/un.h: No such file or directory /boot/home/Desktop/Zope-2.0.1-src/pcgi/pcgi.h:60: sys/ipc.h: No such file or directory /boot/home/Desktop/Zope-2.0.1-src/pcgi/pcgi.h:61: sys/sem.h: No such file or directory In file included from /boot/home/Desktop/Zope-2.0.1-src/pcgi/pcgi- wrapper.c:51: /boot/home/Desktop/Zope-2.0.1-src/pcgi/pcgi.h:63: arpa/inet.h: No such file or directory make: *** [pcgi-wrapper.o] Error 1 Traceback (innermost last): File "/boot/home/Desktop/Zope-2.0.1-src/w_pcgi.py", line 111, in ? if __name__=='__main__': main(sys.argv[0]) File "/boot/home/Desktop/Zope-2.0.1-src/w_pcgi.py", line 104, in main import build_pcgi File "/boot/home/Desktop/Zope-2.0.1-src/inst/build_pcgi.py", line 97, in ? do('make') File "/boot/home/Desktop/Zope-2.0.1-src/inst/do.py", line 103, in do if i and picky: raise SystemError, i SystemError: 2 I don't know if it would be possible to port Zope to BeOS, but it would be a useful addition. For more information about BeOS, visit http:// www.be.com/ It has standard posix-like development tools like gcc, etc. My main concern is the web interface, as I currently have to go find a Windows machine to effectively mess with any Zope stuff.

Have you tried using 'wo_pcgi.py' instead of 'w_pgci.py'? If it's just the PCGI wrapper that's not compiling, who needs it. If there is any sort of demand for it, I'm sure I could fix Zope to work out of the box on BeOS. If anyone wants this, send some encouragement. Mike.

yes Please good idea: BeOs is cool with an orginal very creative community Zope would be good for BeOs and vice versa - Jason ------------------------------------------------- Jason Cunliffe <jasonic@nomadicsltd.com> NOMADICS.STUDIO(Design Director) Geo-Digital Arts and Technology Le Vieux Moulin, Route de Mons 83440 SEILLANS, FRANCE Tel: +33 (0)4 94.76.98.72 Fax: +33 (0)4 94.76.97.77

Consider yourself encouraged! I've just installed BeOS, and it needs some decent applications. ------- Regards, Graham Chiu gchiu<at>compkarori.co.nz http://www.compkarori.com/dynamo - The Homebuilt Dynamo http://www.compkarori.com/dbase - The dBase bulletin

I imagine this has to do with the authentication machinery. I've noticed this behaviour on other browsers that are not IE or Communicator (such as OmniWeb on MacOS X Server, iCab on MacOS 8/9). The machinery to draw the tabs and go to "manage_workspace" (the link in the navigation (folder) frame) uses the Authentication info to go to the first tab viewable by the authenticated user. (I think. It's not an area of the system I'm terribly familier with). Zope will very likely compile on BeOS *without* PCGI. That looks like a similar traceback to what I got on MacOS X Server the first time I tried to compile. (There were some other issues on Mac OS X Server that I had to resolve such as dynamic libraries, the solutions of which I'm not terribly comfortable with (and I have never gotten a good answer about)). -- Jeffrey P Shell, jeffrey@Digicool.com http://www.zope.org/

I got the same behaviour with Opera on Win32, so I'd assume your right about the authentication stuff.
