[Zope] Zope won't start

I am glad to see someone else with a similar problem. I am using FreeBSD4.0
Stable and Zope 2.3.2 and python1.5.2.

I did not use the ports because they are out of date. The zope port is old
and the python port did not have the "new" module installed. So I have
compiled both from source.

I am still getting the PyMethod_Type problem and I would like to use the
latest version of Zope. I am continuing to try other things to see if I can
get it working. I already have zope working on a similar environment on
another machine so I know it can be done. I just need help isolating this
problem.

=> Did my attempts at source-install with it's "admin" account password
=> corrupt the acl for the ports-install?  Something wrong with cleartext
=> authentication?  This authentication stuff is a hurdle.  I think
=> I understand
