[Zope] Problems installing Zope

[Steven Purchase]

Having just successfully installed and setup Zope and Squishdot
on an 486 Linux box (Debian packages made it dead easy), I
thought I'd move over to a SUN box as it is quicker and I want to
run a discussion group for the intranet here.

[SunOS 5.5.1 Generic sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-10]

After installing the latest python (and then re-compiling with
threads, doh) I unpacked Zope-2.1.4-src and ran wo_pcgi.py.
Everything seemed to go fine, so I simply fired it up using
./start. After a couple of seconds Zope (okay, Python) falls over
reporting that the ExtensionClass module couldn't be found at the
import in ZODB/__init__.py.

Actually, after investigation, none of the modules would load
from an import even though they all have .so files present in the
lib/python dir. Now, I don't know a thing about Python so I don't
know where to look to sort this out... Any ideas?

Is it something to do with shared libraries being handled wrongly
on SunOS 5?

Only other thing I can think of is search paths. I install
outside of /usr, but I can't imagine that would be a problem. Do
I need to set a PYTHONPATH or something?

Help...
