I compiled the Zope2 from source myself, I also have compiled the new
python(1.5.2).

I didn't know that Red-hat has a RPM for the version 2 of Zope, where is
it??

Anyway I think that it can not works directly out of the Red-hat instalation
because of the fact that pyhton with red-hat 6.0 is version 1.5.10 whithout
thread. So you have to recompile or reinstall python.

For Zope itself, a lot of things works on 64bits, ZODB ,DA , ftp access,
http,etc.. The only2 problems I have seen is the failure during a posting of
article in confera/sqhisdot:

And also inside <!--#in--> loops or <!--#with-->accessing images/documents
properties(but it's maybe my code which is non Zope2 compatible).

If someone doesn't have this confera error on RedHat 6.0/digital alpha linux
2-2.5-16/python1.5.2, please let me know.

Thanks
