[Zope] Lost with ZEO Setup

[Dunigan, Craig]

Alex, 

I have run into this error as well.  I solved it by linking cPickle.so from
$SOFTWARE_HOME/lib/python into  $SOFTWARE_HOME/lib/python/ZODB.  I'm not
sure that's a good final solution, though, but it's an okay workaround for
now (YMMV!).  It seems that ZEO uses a later version of cPickle than Zope
2.3.3, at least according to Jeremy Hylton at DC.  I'm copying this to
zodb-dev@zope.org, which is the best place for ZEO questions and problems.
Perhaps someone there could enlighten both of us as to a better solution?
