Solved. This documents (a small part of) my circuitous route: I decided to start from scratch and: create a fresh virtualbox Ubuntu server 12.04 on my laptop, get all proper libs installed, then reinstall Plone with the unified installer. Finally, move archived zinstance folder back the new install, rerun buildout. Unfortunately I got the same results as original problem--maybe not a libs issue (guess it was, but somehow the problem was also in the original zinstance--but I'm getting ahead of myself)?
*Here's what I did with the fresh Ubuntu server: *sudo apt-get install openssh-server sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev sudo apt-get install libjpeg62-dev sudo apt-get install build-essential python2.7-dev sudo apt-get install libreadline-gplv2-dev sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev *And to install Plone:* wget https://launchpad.net/plone/4.2/4.2/+download/Plone-4.2-UnifiedInstaller-update-1.tgz tar xzf Plone-4.2-UnifiedInstaller-update-1.tgz cd Plone-4.2-UnifiedInstaller/ ./install.sh standalone *And to move in old zinstance: *mv zinstance/ ~/ ##moves the new zinstance directory just created to my home folder. scp -r [email protected]:/Users/me/Desktop/Plone/zinstance /home/me/Plone ##moves the previously copied zinstance from the developed instance stored on my laptop to its proper place in new instance. ./bin/buildout -n ##several error messages ./bin/buildout -n ##no error messages this time. ./bin/plonectl start Looks exactly like previous site, image problems included. So, made new Plone site, went to ZMI, added same user from original site, copied the folders I'd created in the original site (described in the steps above) and pasted them into the new site. It all works. Thanks Steve for getting me on the track of the missing libs/rebuilding python/PIL.
