[Zope] Popy Problems

[Russell Hires]

Well, let's just say that I've got Debian, and it seems that Python's paths 
are all messed up. Just like you said :-) I've put that file everywhere I 
could think of, and it just can't be found! But I'm glad to have the egenix 
files and such. I'm still stuck at that configure step...

Thanks for the help!
