[Zope] New user problems with Solaris 9 Zope

[Mike Elliott]

I've been working on getting Zope running on an Ultra 1 running
Solaris 9, with no real success so far.

I can apparently compile and install Zope, but when I try to run it I
get the following:

mre at bonk$ instance/bin/runzope -X port-base=1000

This is really tough for someone like me to debug as I have no
experience with Zope or Python.  Any suggestions?
