Possibly you're installing Zope over an existing Zope installation with possibly old
zopectl/runzope files inside the 'bin' folder

bin/zopectl|runzope files.

--with-python when configuring the zope build. I did. And, it did not get used...the zopectl and
runzope files were created with the default path (to the wrong python) anyhow!

did you really delete the existing files in your bin folder before installing zope again? these
files are NOT recreated!
