Hi Jens.  First off, thanks for the reply!

I admit I can't be sure of what python's being used, but I can be sure I 
followed the instructions given in the doc/INSTALL.txt and the configure 
--help .  If I specify the non-system python (2.4.2 in 
/usr/local/bin/python) in the configure, do I need to also add it into the 
zope.conf somewhere?  I had looked for a reference in the conf file but 
didn't find one.  Perhaps there is a command-line switch for zopectl to 
specify the non-system python?  I didn't see anything listed with the 
--help for zopectl.

So perhaps when I run the zopectl it'll revert to the system python rather 
than the build-time location specified?  Does anyone know?

Oh, and I didn't notice where you had seen the reference to the system 
python in the traceback.  Could you point out which line you saw with it?

Cheers!  :)
