First off, let me state: 1) I Thank everybody who has worked so had on make this excellent zope product. And all the people who have expended their free time to help me! 2) I'm not trying to argue anybody into my work for me, but am trying to understand the problems and concepts as they affect my systems. Having said that.... 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. 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). From my programming experience, I really expect that you got a name clash in your installation routines. 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?
