Alan: I did what you wrote (install everything from source) yesterday and got it running on mandrake. I got in running on win XP too but can't on redhat. The "Plone Site" just doesn't show up in the ZMI/Control Panel/Products. I had a whole lot of errors trying to use zopectl too. No one was really able to figure out why I was having those problems. If you follow this thread and read the first few emails I posted, asking for help with installation on redhat, you'd understand what I was talking about. I understand " linux is *by far* the easiest to get zope running under" and it should simply be a ./configure, make, make install but wasn't for me. I wouldn't be asking for help if it were :)
