Hi. hope this hasn't been covered thousands of times already; I know I should 
troll a bit before I post but if I don't strike soon, the iron may get cold.

I'm new ot using (or even trying to use) Zenoss, started this weekend.   I'm 
trying to install on a new suse (10.3?) install as my mysql versions were way 
behind everywhere else and I don't want to deal with the pain of upgrading 
mysql just to be able to try this.   The difficulty becomes that my distro has 
a python package considered 'too new' for zenoss; it won't even try to install 
with this version.   so I dload and installed 2.4 into a separate directory 
specifically for zenoss to use, reset the path... and still get the same error. 
   so I propose the change(s) below (italics are my proposed changes).
"build-functions.sh" 418 line

    # look for python
    PYTHON=`which python`
    if [ -z "$PYTHON" ]  ; then
           for p in /usr/local/bin/python2.4 \
              /usr/local/bin/python2.3 \
              /usr/bin/python2.4 \
              /usr/bin/python
            do
              if [ -z "$PYTHON" ] && [ -x $p ] ; then
                 PYTHON=$p
              fi
            done
    fi
    if [ -z "$PYTHON" ] ; then
        fail "Unable to find python"
    fi

sorry if this is the wrong forum for this sort of thing.  and fwiw, I'd be more 
comfortable submitting code (not that this is a sizable portion or anything) 
and/or changes if the license for submitting were more direct in saying that 
what I submit will alwyas be GPLed.   

Anyway, thanks.  it looks like this app may be just what I need to put an end 
to some persistant problems.
