If you installed from a normal tarball, remove /usr/local (assuming you used the default install location and there's nothing else in /usr/local you want to preserve).

Hi Eric,

You can't give up on Zenoss: your name is Eric! Beware the conspiracy: http://www.catb.org/~esr/ecsl/

You should be able to use python as built by Red Hat for FC5. Just make sure you get the development environment for it:

    # yum install python-devel

The following should work (that is, not print any errors):

    $ /usr/bin/python -c 'import zlib'

I've gotten as far as running the ./install.sh but it errors on me.   here's 
what i get on the screen:

Using Python interpreter at /usr/local/bin/python2.4
Configuring Zope installation

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

.....
------------------------------------------------------------------------



i know i've installed the zlib module, but it's still not working..  can anyone 
help me with this?    if you need specific information from the machine, just 
ask.  also, let me know how to get the information you need (like i said, i'm 
still learning this stuff.



thanks
