[Zope3-Users] building Zope3 on Solaris 10

I have been struggling to build Zope 3.2.1 on Solaris 10
but so far am not having any luck.  I read on the Zope
site "Zope 3 requires that Python 2.4.2 or newer".
I have successfully downloaded and installed the latest
Python 2.4.3.

I tried ./configure and got

Configuring Zope installation

Testing for an acceptable Python interpreter...

Python version 2.4.3 found at /usr/sfw/bin/python
Python version 2.4.3 found at /usr/sfw/bin/python2.4

No suitable Python version found. You should install
Python version 2.4.2 before continuing. Versions
2.4.1 also work, but not as optimally.

I tried with the python switch
./configure --with-python /usr/sfw/bin/python
and there were no errors but when I tried to make it

bash-3.00# gmake
/usr/sfw/bin/python install.py -q build

expand_globs
     raise ValueError(
ValueError: filename pattern '*-configure.zcml' doesn't match any files
gmake: *** [build] Error 1


I saw one thread "Can't build Zope on OS X" where the poster had a
similar problem but no solution was offered there.  Has anyone built
Zope 3.2.1 on Solaris 10 or can anyone offer a suggested solution?
I don't fully understand the code but I guess it is searching for
files that match *-configure.zcml and I see that such files do
exist in various places in the project tree.
