[Zope] Re: FreeBSD compile error 2.4.x to 2.4.3

[Gary Poster]

Still no solution, but here's more data:

When I re-download the python 2.1.1 source, I check and yes, there is no
banana: the config folder does not exist and the Makefile.pre.in is in the
top folder.  I don't think I did anything funky with my Python installation;
I certainly don't know why I would have!

so I went into the inst directory and looked at do.py.  In a fit of daring
creativity, I deleted the "config" folder part from wheres_Makefile_pre_in
and reran python w_pcgi.py from the top directory.  This time, gears whirr
for awhile longer maybe, then I get an exciting new traceback:

Compiling extensions in lib/python
cp /usr/local/lib/python2.1/Makefile.pre.in .
make -f Makefile.pre.in boot PYTHON=/usr/local/bin/python
make: don't know how to make boot. Stop
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/zope/2.4.2/w_pcgi.py", line 111, in ?
    if __name__=='__main__': main(sys.argv[0])
  File "/usr/local/zope/2.4.2/w_pcgi.py", line 109, in main
    import wo_pcgi; wo_pcgi.main(me)
  File "/usr/local/zope/2.4.2/wo_pcgi.py", line 105, in main
    import build_extensions
  File "/usr/local/zope/2.4.2/inst/build_extensions.py", line 102, in ?
    make('lib','python')
  File "/usr/local/zope/2.4.2/inst/do.py", line 134, in make
    do('make -f Makefile.pre.in boot PYTHON=%s' % sys.executable)
  File "/usr/local/zope/2.4.2/inst/do.py", line 104, in do
    if i and picky: raise SystemError, i
SystemError: 512

What's up with this?  Am I the only one to encounter this?  I don't see
anything when I search the Zope list...

Trying to fix make errors is always yucky for me, cause I don't really know
the tool.  Does anyone think I should post this somewhere in addition,
maybe?  Is this a Zope bug, exactly?  Maybe I'll put it in the collector and
see what happens.  Maybe.
