Well, what happens when you do 'easy_install -U setuptools'? Note that you may need to do that as the root user or with sudo. > (Currently using setuptools 0.6c8 > (/srv/Python-2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c8-py2.4.egg)) > error: Setup script exited with 2 > An error occured when trying to install ZODB3 3.10.0b3.

Plone 4 beta uses it, but I guess you are using Plone 3, right? What seems to be happening here is that a new version of some add-on product that you use in your buildout is out, which depends on Plone 4 or a new Zope2 version. You will want to keep using an older version of that add-on that is still compatible with Plone 3. Add this line to the [buildout] section of your buildout.cfg: allow-picked-versions = false Now run bin/buildout again. This extra option makes sure that buildout quits at the moment it tries to get a package for which you have not specified (pinned) a version. Note that at least for live sites it is very much recommended to pin the versions of *all* packages. Adding 'extensions = buildout.dumppickedversions' in the [buildout] section can help for that: when bin/buildout has finished, it reports all versions that have not been pinned yet (so they have instead been 'picked' by buildout). (Note that the combination of these two options is logically less useful.) -- Maurits van Rees Programmer, Zest Software _______________________________________________ Setup mailing list [email protected] http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/setup
