Hi Lee,
I'm not sure if this will help.. but I do know that I routinely build
Zope on multiple FreeBSD systems and it has never caused a problem like this.
Did you build your own python, or use a port? What flavor of BSD? I've never
had to edit Makefile.pre.in or do.py on FreeBSD 3.x, or 4.x.
I haven't solved my BSD problem but I did discover that there are BSD ports
of Zope and Zope products maintained at
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=zope&stype=all
I haven't been able to get the port to work yet but I suspect that it's
because I don't have root access to the server.
Th
