I had some trouble getting PTK  to work, but I found my major problem and
just have one left.  Here's what has happended to me: 

Originally after installing this PTK. I had lots of broken objects.  Tried suggestions
found on this listserv.  Then I began to wonder about the Zope version making a 
difference to the PTK , and it sure did in my case.

Mainly, the most recent RPM (as listed on the download page as Zope RPMS )
is version 2.1.2.  I downloaded 2.1.4 and lo and behold PTK works EXCEPT
that the Help object in DemoPortal is broken.

Traceback (innermost last):
  File /usr/libexec/zope214/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 214, in publish_module
  File /usr/libexec/zope214/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 179, in publish
  File /usr/libexec/zope214/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 202, in zpublisher_exception_hook
    (Object: ElementWithAttributes)
  File /usr/libexec/zope214/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 151, in publish
  File /usr/libexec/zope214/lib/python/ZPublisher/BaseRequest.py, line 338, in traverse
  File /usr/libexec/zope214/lib/python/ZPublisher/HTTPResponse.py, line 521, in debugError
NotFound: (see above)

This example was seen after clicking on the *structured text* link in the Add Content page of 
the Document Creation Wizard. 

Any hints from anyone else on how to deal with this- I looked at many of the items in the
list archive-- maybe I didn't go far enough back?  

Do I need to get the most recent version of Zope from CVS in order for this to work?  Is there 
a dependency issue?

One spelling error:  Contributer on the security tab should be spelled Contributor. 

I've been trying out Zope and I think that the demo portal and portal kit make the 
learning curve for Zope use much easier.  Great piece of SW!
