En/na Jens Vagelpohl ha escrit: Whaat you really need to do is *ditch* those OS-supplied Python packages and compile it yourself for Zope. It's easy and quick.

[Zope] Zope 2.8.4 install on Suse
Thanks to all for the very quick response to my request for help. This is the backbone of the open source community. I have been using Zope 2.6 on windows for years and wanted to update and move to a Suse 9.0 machine. I downloaded Zope 2.8.4-final tgz. I originally had Python 2.4 but switched to Python 2.3.5 after reading the Zope notes. When I did the configure, make, install for Zope I got the message: The Python interpreter you are using does not appear to have the 'zlib' library module installed. For Zope to be able to run, you must install a Python interpreter which includes the zlib module, or install the zlib library into your Python interpreter manually. The file which represents the library is named 'zlib.so' (UNIX) or 'zlib.dll' (Windows) and is typically located in the 'lib-dynload' directory of your Python's library directory. Some Python packagers ship the zlib module as a separate installable binary. If you are using a system-provided Python installation, you may want to look for a 'python-zlib' package (or something like it) and install it to make the Python zlib module available to Zope. This lead me to believe that I needed to install zlib which I did. This lead to the same message. I then found that what I may need is zlib-devel. I had Python-zlib_2.2. I could not find a zlib-devel to match it nor a zlib to match the zlib to match the zlib-devels that I could find. I decided that the problem really lay with Python so I changed to ActivePython-2.4.2-248. Same message. There appears to be a disconnect between Python, Zope, and Suse. I have Zope 2.6.0 running on the same machine but this is what I have on windows. I am very content to stay with 2.6.0 and get off of windows and onto Linux but feel it is time to upgrade. Maybe I should just be happy with the exit from Windows. ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
Re: [Zope] Zope 2.8.4 install on Suse
Jens I am sorry to say that I have compiled all software on this machine. I have done so so that I would not have confusion due to different compilers. I think that there is a problem with the manner in which I compile Python or compile usingPython. Python has a zlib.so in its distribution but somehow it is not getting through to the compilation of Zope. There must be something about compiling Python or compiling using Python that I do not understand. I think it has something to do with the zlib module. Either the zlib module should be made a part of Python at the time I compile Python or the compiler should be told to use the zlib module at the time I compile Zope. The zlib module is included in the Zope 2.6 distribution which is the reason that I have no trouble installing and using 2.6. ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

Python will compile its zlib if it finds the suitable headers and libraries on the hosts system. Check to see if you have all zlib and zlib-devel packages installed. There is no magic flag to set, just configure/make/make install will pick up on and use zlib. The only other thing I could think of would be if you're not using the interpreter you think you are using. jens ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
