[Zope] Installing CMFOODocument

[Asad Quraishi]

I am trying to install this for the second time.

My problems are with the libxml2-python and libxslt-python modules.  
These are installed via RPM however my Zope tarball came with Python 
2.1.3.  I suppose this is good since this is what I need.  I have 2.2 on 
my machine which is clearly not compatible.  I thought I could copy the 
libxml2.py, libxml2mod.so (version 2.4.23-1), libxsltmod.so and 
libxslt.py (1.0.19-1) files (xml/xslt python bindings) to the 
Zope/lib/python directory.  Maybe I put these in the wrong place (I'm no 
python guru and could find no obvious hint of where to put it).  Maybe I 
should have copied other files as well.

I tried calling these librairies through the 2.1.3 python version in the 
Zope/bin dir - although all I did was import them and dir() them.  Do 
they need access to their /usr/share/doc/libxml2-python-2.4.23 and xslt 
equivalent directories?  Should I create a symlink to these dirs in the 
/lib/python dir?

This is what I get as an error from the startup script:

2003-04-28T20:39:39 ERROR(200) Zope Could not import Products.CMFOODocument

Help!
