[Zope] ZEO or INSTANCE_HOME Problem

[seb bacon]

Well, I'm never quite sure on the whys of this (perhaps someone else
could explain?) but here's my take:

PYTHONHOME is meant to point to your python libs, but it's also used to
find your Zope installation when you're using INSTANCE_HOME (AFAIK).

So what I do is, point PYTHONHOME at the zope install; and make a
symlink to the python libs somewhere there:

  ln -s /usr/local/python2.1/lib/python-2.1 /usr/local/Zope/lib/.
