If only it was that simple. It has always been that simple in the past, but
then my local python was newer than the one shipped with the distro.

I have not tried the --with-python argument, because the configure detected
my python 2.3.5 in /usr/local. Doing ./configure --prefix, make, then make
install didn't produce any errors, but attempting to run zope did. I will
try the --with-python argument next week, and the altinstall suggested by
another helpful person.

Many thanks for your support. I will feel much more comfortable with the
right version of python under my zope.
