Great, thanks!

First problem that I see, which has happened before in some Zope tar
files IIRC, is that the files in the skel dir don't have the right
permissions. root can view them. So when you make an instance
you run into an error:

[Errno 13] Permission denied: './README.txt'

, and some other files as well, like:

Running this:

find -execdir sudo chmod a+r {} +

fixes it for me. Now Zope starts up fine.

Probably better, yes. Done:

Andreas Jung, on 2006-10-04:
I fixed the tar-ball generation part of the makefile and recreated the
2.10.0 and 2.9.5 archives with the right permissions.

Yes, that helped. Thank you!

A few related notes though:

Strange: when I compare the new 2.9.5 tar ball with the old one I got
a few days before, there are more differences than just some
permission changes.

Here are the tar files in my download dir:
$ ls -ltr Zope-2.*tgz # edited a bit to prevent long lines.
6977165 2006-10-02 17:41 Zope-2.9.5-final.ori.tgz
7123131 2006-10-03 09:42 Zope-2.10.0-final.ori.tgz
6984923 2006-10-04 16:27 Zope-2.9.5-final.tgz
7122626 2006-10-05 12:45 Zope-2.10.0-final.tgz

$ diff -q -r Zope-2.9.5-final.ori Zope-2.9.5-final
Files
and differ
Files
and differ

And some more of those lines. These differences are not about
permissions, but real content. So I'm not sure what happened there.

$ diff -r Zope-2.10.0-final.ori Zope-2.10.0-final

gives no output, so that means only permission changes in the new
2.10.0. That's good.

BTW, after a ./configure, make, sudo make install I get:
$ find -user root
/lib/python/zope.proxy

So those three files (in the directory where I extracted the tar ball
to) are owned by root, which is a bit strange. No big deal, bit if
this can be fixed, it would be nice.

Anyway, the new tarballs work.

Maurits, you seem to be working as root, which is the root of all
evil (pun intended). Don't do that, ever. The permission issues you
reported also only crop up if the tarball is extracted while root.
Don't do that!

Actually, I don't. :)

Extract the original tar ball, do a 'find -perm 600' and you'll see
lots of files that have the wrong permissions. The new tar is good in
that respect. But let's look at the 'root' cause:

~/download $ tar xzf Zope-2.10.0-final.tgz # That's the current one.
~/download $ cd Zope-2.10.0-final/
~/download/Zope-2.10.0-final $ find -user root
~/download/Zope-2.10.0-final $ ./configure
(snip the usual output)
~/download/Zope-2.10.0-final $ make
(snip the usual output)
maurits@kronos:~/download/Zope-2.10.0-final $ make install
"/usr/bin/python" "/" \
build "/" "/" "/" "/"
(snip)
running build_ext
creating zope.proxy
copying zope/proxy/proxy.h -zope.proxy
copying / -/
running install_lib
creating /opt/Zope-2.10
error: could not create '/opt/Zope-2.10': Permission denied
make: [install] Error 1

That's logical, as I don't have the permissions to install anything in
/opt as normal user.

maurits@kronos:~/download/Zope-2.10.0-final $ find -user root
maurits@kronos:~/download/Zope-2.10.0-final $ sudo make install
(snip)
Zope binaries installed successfully.
Now run '/'
maurits@kronos:~/download/Zope-2.10.0-final $ find -user root
/lib/python/zope.proxy

Bingo, there is your error. Well, like I said, that's not a big deal,
but still
