[Zope] Startup problems - Help

[Phil Harris]

Hi Paul,

Nice to see another UK University trying Zope 8¬)

Have you checked that zlib is actually installed, you should find it under
somewhere like /usr/lib/python-1.5/zlib.py (I think there might also be a
shared module for it somewhere, something along the lines of zlib.so or
similar).

If either of these files are missing then you need to get hold of
them/create them.

I find it strange that your copy of Mandrake 6.0 doesn't have deamon tho as
mine does, as does Mandrake 6.1.

If you'd like to sound out a few things with me by phone feel free to mail
me privately (I'm in Cardiff btw) and I'll give you my number.

I was up in Aber some time back for a Learning Technology Conference, and
met some the people up there, buggered if I can rememebr any names though,
the drinks flowed quite freely ;¬).

HTH
