RHEL (and thus CentOS) depends heavily upon Python for lots of apps, utilities etc.; as such, i'd recommend against altering the system Python. i haven't done what you are trying to do, but i did end up installing another Python on a CentOS 3 machine in order to get DenyHosts working (it needs at least Python 2.4) in /usr/local/python24. on the other hand, the indefatigable Karanbir seems to have built RPMS of Zope 2.8.0 and Plone 2.1.2; they're available from his repository: http://centos.karan.org/el4/extras/stable/i386/RPMS/index.html will those work for you? -steve --- If this were played upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction. - Fabian, Twelfth Night, III,v
