[Zope3-Users] Problem: "Could not locate Zope software installation!"

[Ronald L Chichester]

I downloaded ZopeX3-3.0.1 and Zope3.1 (final).  The ./configure | make 
| make install (as root) went without a hitch.  However, when I went 
to make an instance (with either 3.0.1 or 3.1) I got a "Could not 
locate Zope software installation!"

In both cases, I used the default settings (i.e., Zope was made in 
/usr/local/Zopex/

I used /usr/local/ZopeX3x/bin/mkzopeinstance -u manager:secret

... and got the error message.

I've seen this before in the bug track list, but has anyone got a 
workaround?  I'm using Zope on Gentoo Linux (2.6.13-r2 kernel) with 
python 2.3.5 and and GCC 3.4.4.
