[Zope] Zope Install on Red Hat questions

[Michael Stearns]

Hello:

I am new to Linux and Zope. I am trying to install the 2.x src. (The
zope.org site indicated that a binary was available, but I didn't see
it.)

I installed Red Hat 5.2. Then I installed the rpm version of Python
1.5.2. (I had some problems with installing on top of the existing
version of Python, but I did a  -replacepkgs and then it seemed to
install ok.)

When I run  %python wo_pcgi.py, I get this:
.
.

Compiling extensions in lib/python
cp /usr/lib/python1.5/config/Makefile.pre.in .
cp: /usr/lib/python1.5/config/Makefile.pre.in: No such file or directory

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "wo_pcgi.py", line 100, in ?
  File "/downloads/Zope-2.0.0a4-src/build_extensions.py", line 96, in
    make('lib','python')
  File "/downloads/Zope-2.0.0a4-src/do.py", line 113, in make
    do("cp %s ." % wheres_Makefile_pre_in())
  File "/downloads/Zope-2.0.0a4-src/do.py", line 99, in do
    if i and picky: raise SystemError, i
SystemError: 256


When I try to fire up Zope with this: % python z2.py, I get this
response:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "z2.py", line 358, in ?
    exec "import "+MODULE in {}
  File "<string>", line 1, in ?
  File "/downloads/Zope-2.0.0a4-src/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py", line
10, in ?
    import ZODB, ZODB.ZApplication, imp
  File "/downloads/Zope-2.0.0a4-src/lib/python/ZODB/__init__.py", line
85, in ?
    import sys, ExtensionClass, TimeStamp, cPersistence, Persistence
ImportError: No module named ExtensionClass


Can anyone offer any suggestions on what I need to do to get the install
to work?

Thanks!
