Hi Joao:

I think we're both struggling with it --  more than a few things are
borked it appears. Just yesterday, I managed to get plone working. I had
to alter the '/usr/sbin/zope-z2' file to have this line: 'exec
/usr/bin/python2.2 -O /usr/lib/zope/z2.py $@' INSTEAD OF '#exec
python2.2 -O /usr/lib/zope/z2.py $@'. That's just to start cmf-plone.

I still haven't been able to get the Tutorial to work. The bug had been
filed previously, but the maintainer isn't as forthcoming with any
suggestion as to what I can do to fix this locally. The plone
maintainer, was a little more helpful -- He told me the line to fix
above. Very nice, actually.

So, perhaps ask on the Zope e-mail list. I had somebody
from Debian on that list tell be about reportbug. So, it might be worth
a go. There doesn't appear to be many people here, who use Zope,
unfortunately.

Sorry, I couldn't help specifically.
