[Zope] Zope startup problem

[Joerg Wittenberger]

Hello folks,

I'm new to zope and so am I to python.  But as zope seems to implement 
some things I dreamed up long ago I'm goint to learn both now.

First I'd like to try a bit, but I ran into a startup problem:

-------------------
$ python z2.py -d 127.0.0.1
zdeamon: Sun Jul  4 23:23:39 1999: Houston, we have forked
zdeamon: Sun Jul  4 23:23:39 1999: Hi, I just forked off a kid: 6779
zdeamon: Sun Jul  4 23:23:39 1999: Houston, we have forked
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "z2.py", line 319, in ?
    exec "import "+MODULE in {}
  File "<string>", line 1, in ?
  File "/home/jerry/build/Zope-2.0.0a3-src/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py", line 10, in ?
    import ZODB, ZODB.FileStorage, ZODB.ZApplication
  File "/home/jerry/build/Zope-2.0.0a3-src/lib/python/ZODB/FileStorage.py", line 154, in ?
    import struct, time, os, bpthread, string, base64
ImportError: No module named base64
zdeamon: Sun Jul  4 23:23:39 1999: Aiieee! 6779 exited with error code: 256
-------------------

Any clue?  My python is version1.5.2 but came binary - might I miss
something standard?

Thanks

/Jerry
