[Zope] Problems building RPMs

[Des Dougan]

I'm trying to create Zope 2.7 RPMs for my SME Server distro (a Red Hat
7.3 variant designed for small businesses). I've installed from the
source tarball, and chosen /opt/Zope-2.7 for the location, including the
instance home. All runs cleanly when built from source. I therefore
attempted to create an RPM, as my production server does not have
compilers installed.

I used Chris McDonough's 2.7.0-b1 spec file, amended for the directory
structure noted above. However, I'm getting a failure after the build:

changing mode of /var/tmp/Zope-2.7-root/opt/Zope-2.7/bin/decompilezpy.py
to 755
running install_data
[ -f /var/tmp/Zope-2.7-root/opt/Zope-2.7/bin/python ] || ln -sfn
"/usr/local/bin/python2.3"
/var/tmp/Zope-2.7-root/opt/Zope-2.7/bin/python

Zope binaries installed successfully.
Now run '/var/tmp/Zope-2.7-root/opt/Zope-2.7/bin/mkzopeinstance.py'

I'm obviously missing something in my set-up, but can't see what. Can
anyone shed any light on this?

Thanks,
