[Zope] trouble running zope-1.10.2 (freebsd, python 1.5.1)

[Oyvind Moll]

Trying to get started with Zope on a FreeBSD machine.  I did the
following:

* Downloaded source distribution of Zope-1.10.2
* Extracted it
* cd into directory and ran 'python wo_pcgi.py'
  (no error messages)
* ./start

I then get the following in var/serve.log (slightly edited for
slightly more readability):


Traceback (innermost last):
  File "serve.py", line 90, in ?

I don't have any experience with Zope or even Python, but am I right
in guessing that this looks like a problem with the python binary and
not with Zope?  Any ideas to precisely what the problem might be?

python is v1.5.1.
C compiler used is gcc 2.7.2.x.
