[Duane Douglas]

hello,

i'm new to zope, so please bear with me.

i'm trying to get zope 2.5.0 running on linux 7.2.   i untarred the zope 
tarball in /usr/local and the install script ran without reporting any 
errors.  the start script reported an exception when it ran.  the output is 
below:

[root@grumpy Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86]# ./start
