[Zope] Problems with Zope 2.4.0 and OpenBSD 2.8

[Pat Ritchie]

Hi,

I'm having all sorts of problems getting Zope running on my i386 OpenBSD
box. I am using python 2.1.1 compiled with --with-threads.

The first problem I had was compiling Zope, I got this error:

make: don't know how to make ././src/Splitter.c. Stop

I read the docs (doc/FAQ.txt) and It said for some BSD systems you need to
use make -k, I made this change and it compiled.

Once compiled I edited z2.py to use port 80 (8080 is blocked by my firewall)
and then ran start.

It seems to start up and run fine but when I go to myserver.com/manage it
asks me for my name and password and then stalls loading the page.

Log file output:

This could be related to the original compiling problem as the -k flag tells
make to "Continue processing after errors are encountered, but only on those
targets that do not depend on the target whose creation caused the error"
... In other words I might now be missing an essential bit of Zope?

Should this message be sent to the Zope-dev list as well?

Thanks,
