[Grok-dev] Re: How do I install Grokstar?

[Sebastian Ware]

Hi!

FYI: I tried as suggested (both with "zc.catalog = 1.1.1" and  
"zc.catalog == 1.1.1"). But without success (I put it in under the  
section [zope3], se bellow). I also tried commenting out the original  
[zope 3] config, which saved me from downloading Zope 3 again.


*** [SNIP] ***
[buildout]
develop = .
parts = data instance test

#[zope3]
#recipe = zc.recipe.cmmi
#extra_options = --with-python=${buildout:executable} --force
#url = http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope3/3.3.1/Zope-3.3.1.tgz

# If you already have a Zope 3 installation, you can *remove* the
# 'zope3' name from the 'parts' listing in the [buildout] section, and
# uncomment what's below.

[zope3]
location = /opt/zope3.3
zc.catalog = 1.1.1
*** [END SNIP] ***
