[Zope3-Users] Problem: "Could not locate Zope software installation!"

[Ronald L Chichester]

FYI:

I just downloaded and installed Zope 3.1 on another Gentoo box (with 
the same /etc/profile as the one depicted below).  That (second) one 
worked without any issues whatsoever.   The major differences between 
the two boxes is that the first box is using an Athlon64 chip (with 
Gentoo's amd64 installation), and the second box is an older Pentium 
III (using Gentoo's x86 installation).

This, of course, begs the question of some 64-bit compatibility issue.

I noticed that when it builds (using make) that a --skip-build 
parameter is included.  Could the lack of that particular building be 
a problem?
