Thank for the suggestion. <br><br>I have compiled a new version of Python into /opt. The version of Zope (2.9.5) that Plone wants will not compile. It keeps telling me zlib is not installed when in fact it is. It is looking for a library called zlib when it should be looking for libz. Zope
3.3.0 compiles fine but Plone will not use it - ARG!!!<br><br>- Jamie<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/30/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Michael A. Peters</b> <<a href="mailto:mpeters@mac.com">mpeters@mac.com

<br>You probably could install a newer python and its entire tree in another<br>location on the filesystem (maybe /usr/local or /opt ??) but leave the<br>system python intact or you will likely end up crying very bitter tears.
