I did what you said and installed the latest version of PTK from a
tarball, and it seems to install okay, except it just doesn't work:( and
gives me the error i described below, any other ideas please????

thanks for your help,
Tom.

First, your chosen version is about six months old.  I would
*strongly* recommend an upgrade to a newer version (e.g., 0.10alpha
or a CVS checkout).  See these install docs:

 * http://www.zope.org/Products/PTK/install

 * http://www.zope.org/Products/PTK/install_from_cvs

Second, the product-formerly-known-as-PTK has its own mailing
list (zope-ptk@zope.org):

 * http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-ptk

and a shiny new "headquarters" site:

 * http://cmf.zope.org
