[Zope] Zope under Linux -- duh?

[Alexander Staubo]

Have you guys ran Zope 1.11 under Linux 2.0.x with Python 1.5.2? I can't
get the thing to work.

Problem 1: If I try running the version of Python that comes with the
Zope sources, I get "bash: ./python: No such file or directory". None of
our resident Linux experts could explain this, as the file was seemingly
not corrupted. Naturally the install script does not work because of
this, and neither does Zope.

Problem 2: Python 1.5.2 doesn't compile out of the box with glibc5, as
the time module is incompatible with that version. You gotta get a
patched version from the CVS repository.

Problem 3: Python 1.5.2 doesn't come with a compatible thread module, or
so it seems -- at least Python's "make test" reports an incompatibility,
and Zope can't import it. I might have to upgrade to glibc6 to get
Python to work, I guess.

So, what's the deal here? Surely a _lot_ of people are running Zope on
Linux.
