Hi; I'm trying to build 2.10.x on a CentOS 5.4 server. I get the error that I need to upgrade my Python from 2.4.3 to (I believe) 2.4.6. The problem is that I really can't do that using rpms unless I roll my own. Before doing that I wanted to consult you all and ask your advice. TIA, Susan PS Another option would be to build this on my Mac, but it doesn't look like Zope supports that platform.

2.4.3 should be fine as a substitute for 2.4.6 sans some bug fixes in python.

Zope should work anywhere python works. And python definitely works under OSX (given it's just unix under the hood).

You should be able to override the "allowed" versions of Python:
$ cd /path/to/Zope-2.10.11 $ ./configure --with-python=/usr/bin/python && make inplace
It is unlikely that whatever bugfix was in Python 2.4.4 will keep Zope from working, although running with that version in production might be less stable somehow.

Zope will build pretty much anywhere the corresponding Python will build. Lots of developers use Zope on their OS/X laptops, for instance.

I tried just that and got the following error:
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 make: *** [build] Error 1
So I did this:
[root@Zope-2.10.9-final]# yum install gcc
and got this at the end:
Updated: gcc.x86_64 0:4.1.2-46.el5_4.2
Dependency Updated: cpp.x86_64 0:4.1.2-46.el5_4.2 gcc-c++.x86_64 0:4.1.2-46.el5_4.2 libgcc.i386 0:4.1.2-46.el5_4.2 libgcc.x86_64 0:4.1.2-46.el5_4.2 libstdc++.i386 0:4.1.2-46.el5_4.2 libstdc++.x86_64 0:4.1.2-46.el5_4.2 libstdc++-devel.x86_64 0:4.1.2-46.el5_4.2
Complete!
So I tried Zope again and again got this:
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 make: *** [build] Error 1 [root@Zope-2.10.9-final]# gcc -V gcc: '-V' option must have argument # Whatever. At least it recognized gcc
So what up? I also tried installing Python 2.4.6 on my Mac and got a gcc error!? What do? TIA, Susan

You need to show us the lines above that. You almost certainly need to have the python-dev (or python-devel) RPM installed too: it has the header files for Python.
[root@Zope-2.10.9-final]# gcc -V gcc: '-V' option must have argument # Whatever. At least it recognized gcc
Try:
$ gcc --version

The system Python supplied by Apple is built *very* strangely, and is likely not to be satisfactory. My Mac-wielding partners recommend installing the Xcode (?) tools first, then building Python from source before building Zope. Some folks use the compiler / Python from fink or MacPorts, as well.

Bingo. That did it and got me in. Been years since I screwed around in Zope ;/ Thanks, Susan
