Here you see the problem:
The command line defines "home" and your system's
"distutils" configuration defines "prefix".
And "distutils" is unhappy because it does not know where
to install.
I think, your system's "distutils" should not globally define "prefix".

Re: [Zope] Install 2.9.2 fails with "error: must supply either home or prefix/exec-prefix -- not both"
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Jens, I thought that the linus file standard (what ever its called) was to use "/usr" when a user installs product and to "/opt" when it is a "Distro" product, in other words the place where a product is installed should not be hard coded. So you tell Python to install into "/opt", it does not matter. My point is that you do not want to replace/clobber the system Python. I have a feeling you are looking at this as some super-complicated thing. This is not rocket science. At any-rate the problems seams to be that you use a variable out of the Python distribution (which defines where python is installed) as the place to install zope (as defined by the config variable). Huh? I have no idea what you are talking about. You can configure the Python source package to install wherever you want, and the same is true for Zope. Where Zope lives has exactly *zero* relationship to where Python lives. From my programming experience, I really expect that you got a name clash in your installation routines. Again, no idea what you are talking about. The self-built Python is an entirely self-contained environment. You never ever touch any system Python packages when you build/run Zope off of a self-compiled Python. So as this is an all volunteer effort, I'm volunteering today, to try to hunt it down. Although a single day to understand a system as compley as the installation of zope is probably ludicrous. But I do have the machines setup and profesional tools to use... Can anybody help me in my goal of tracking this down? Honestly, I think you're wasting your time. Even if you track this particular problem down (it *is* most likely the messed-up Python package the distribution ships) then that will not make your Zope install (or that system Python) any more "supported" as it is now. Which is "not". Let me reiterate: Building on top of Python as shipped by some distribution, or using Zope as shipped with some distribution, will almost always get you blank stares when you ask questions on the Zope lists. If you want help and run a "supported" system, follow Andreas' and my advice and build Python and Zope from source. And again, *where* you put the two is *entirely* up to you, you should just ensure you do not overwrite any system Python packages. jens -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (Darwin) iD8DBQFEQ4FyRAx5nvEhZLIRApSsAJoCAsM7RzRwsqZmBhAExXSGAy1yKwCePb3R 7XS05gnkqxU1YakAAcpVERI= =Nf/m -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ 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 )

If I follow your philosophy to it's logical conclusion, then I'd end up rolling my own linux, and having a "private" distribution for each production machine. The amount of time, work and know-how required to maintain such a setup is simply not feasible in my case. I therefore depend on SUSE to do the security, maintenance, and configuration for me. That is what a distribution is all about right? As I am defining the new setup for our servers (new and old), I thought it would be to our advantage to use the latest 2.9.2 Zope2 release. This would allow me to have the newest technologies available for future projects. And leave the door open to do a smooth Zope2 to Zope3 migration. The version of Zope delivered with SUSE is 2.7.8.

This gives me the same error...
After debugging the install.py with komodo (also beta :-)
I found that by setting the environment variable with
export DISTUTILS_DEBUG=1
additional debug information is printed.
Here the relevant parts of the "make install"
option dict for 'install' command:
{'home': ('command line', '/opt/zope'),
'prefix': ('/usr/lib64/python2.4/distutils/distutils.cfg', '/usr/local'),
'skip_build': ('command line', 1)}
option dict for 'install_lib' command:
{'compile': ('setup.cfg', '1'), 'optimize': ('setup.cfg', '1')}
Distribution.get_command_obj(): creating 'install' command object
setting options for 'install' command:
home = /opt/zope (from command line)
prefix = /usr/local (from /usr/lib64/python2.4/distutils/distutils.cfg)
skip_build = 1 (from command line)
Traceback (most recent call last):

From the following excerpt
setting options for 'install' command:
home = /opt/zope (from command line)

make: *** [install] Error 1
I assume the problem is that the install routine does not handle SUSE's
version of the ".../python2.4/distutil/distutils.cfg", which sets the prefix.
Maybe this is a simple name clash?
As a test I removed the --home "$(PREFIX)" from the Makefile, and zope
installed into /usr/local instead of /usr/local/Zope 8-(
Oh well it was a virgin installation, I'll just have to install it again!
At any rate I went ahead and confirmed that the same happens on SUSE 10.1 RC1
i386 architecture so it's more probably SUSE problem and not x86_64
specific
My question now is this a bug in Zope 2.9.2 installation, or in SUSE 10.1 RC1?
The answer to that will decide where I look to fix it
Jerry Westrick.
P.S. I have both 32bit and 64bit test machines remotely available incase
anyone wants to fix this :-) Unfortunately, I should be preparign the 64bit
machine as a backup server, so if anyone is interested it's only available
shortly... I can keep the 32bit SUSE 10.1 RC1 available for a week or so...
