[Zope] Objet : Re: [Zope] Install problem with Zope2.0.1

[Francois-Regis CHALAOUX]

Hi and thank Anthony,

The problem
==========
I'm interesting to install Zope-2.0.1 ( www.zope.org )

Constraints
=========
it is a production machine (Intel RH5.2 + Python-1.5.1.rpm from RH5.2 )

Experiments
==========
Thus, to minimize installation and tests I tried to install the Linux binary version of Zope-2.0.1 which
contents a Python 1.5.2 version. Some days before I did it on RH6.0 and
it worked fine. But today it does not work :(

During the installation and startup ( with zserver ) of
Zope-2.0.1 i obtain the following messages ( see 'Install error' and 'Error at startup' below). 

I also tested the python install coming with Zope-2.0.1 ( see message 'Test of python' ).
I also tested the python install coming with Zope-2.0.1 with setting the PYTHONHOME ='/opt/digicool/zope/Zope2' ( see message 'Test of python with PYTHONHOME='/opt/digicool/zope/Zope2' ).

Questions
=======
Is the python coming with zope-2.0.1 works ont RH5.2 or should I configure other things?
If not, what's the best to upgrade from the standard Python1.5.1 rpm version
to a Python1.5.2.rpm with threads for RH5.2.

Bye, FR.

It looks like the python install on your production machine is either
insane, or old. Make sure you are using Python 1.5.2 on both.
