Various Zope-ish distributions hit tar problems several times per year, and I don't know for a fact that it's necessary for "us" to use a specific tar program in such a way that other tar programs can't deal with the tarballs. Anyone up to date on their tar lore (I'm sure not)? > Still had the gcc4 warnings but no biggie there. Repairing that is adding a pile of tedious casting to C code mostly under my care these days. Since I don't have gcc4 and don't have spare time to install it just for this, it would be nice if someone with gcc4 submitted a patch. It should be easy (if dull) -- adding (char *) casts to the arguments gcc4 is complaining about. > Sorry for the hassle and certainly for the big leap to tarball > judgement.

I had checked the md5sum just to be sure it wasn't a bad download. The problem REALLY wasMidnight Commander. I have used mc for many years and never seen this before. But by using tar on the commandline the file extracted fine and I now a bright shiny instance of Zope3 running. Still had the gcc4 warnings but no biggie there. Sorry for the hassle and certainly for the big leap to tarball judgement.

Nope, because nobody else has reported this. What are the odds that you're the only one who has used the tarball? I don't know, but they're not high . I don't know how the tarball was built originally, but I built the Windows installers _from_ the tarball and had no problems. I imagine it was built with GNU tar, and that has a history of creating problems (due to GNU extensions) for other tar implementations. Did you use GNU tar to unpack it? If not, try that. Or perhaps you got a corrupt download (did you check the MD5 against the one listed?). As a check, I just downloaded the tarball fresh from http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope3/3.1.0b1 to a Linux box, and used its tar to unpack it: $ tar --version tar (GNU tar) 1.13.25 $ tar xvzf Zope-3.1.0b1.tgz ... [lots of output] ... $ find Zope-3.1.0b1 -name "*.py" | wc -l 2429 $ find Zope-3.1.0b1 -name "*.p" $ That is, there are no .p files. You didn't give enough info about the other badly named files for me to check, but I doubt I'd find any other damage here either. I went on to do ./configure, make, and `make check` without problems: $ make check /usr/local/bin/python install.py -q build /usr/local/bin/python test.py -v Running UNIT tests at level 1 Running UNIT tests from /home/tim/Zope-3.1.0b1/build/lib.linux-i686-2.3 ...

The results are in a text file on Zope.org. (it was too large to post to the list) http://www.zope.org/Members/tcook/check_results I'm not sure how soon it will be published. The problem is that there are several source files that end in .p instead of .py. My first clue was the first lines that said these tests weren't packages. I thought someone just forgot the init files. Nope, they were there, just missing a y in the filename. There are also misnamed .html and .stx files. Same problem, dropped last character. I checked the archive (Zope-3.1.0b1.tgz) and the files are misnamed in there. Obviously someone needs to create a new Linux distribution, eh!

It may also be interesting to try with the version of GCC 4 that just came out this week; GCC 4.0.1 came out on Thursday.

This means you get a nuisance nag whenever C code passes an "unsigned char *" to PyString_FromStringAndSize, which declares its pointer-to-char argument as plain "char *", because PyString_FromStringAndSize couldn't care less whether the box decides to treat unqualifed char as signed or unsigned (C doesn't define which they are -- it's the compiler's choice). Adding a pile of annoying casting to the C code will make those warnings go away, but they're not pointing out any real problems, so ignore them. > installed python version 2.3.5 prior to attempting install of Zope3.

It might help if you posted again, skipping all the compiler warnings (which aren't interesting), and gave the full output from `make check`. While I doubt it matters, it's possible that some bug in gcc4 is creating actual problems. Trying again with an earlier version of gcc would settle that question.

[Zope3-Users] Installation Erros
Installing Zope-3.1.0b1 on Fedora Core 4 I didn't see these erros in any previous mailing list post nor did I find a bug collector. gcc (GCC) 4.0.0 20050519 (Red Hat 4.0.0-8) installed python version 2.3.5 prior to attempting install of Zope3.
