[gentoo-user] Plone

[gentoo-user] Plone

[john]

Hello,

I have installed Plone but unfortunately it will not run. I believe
this is down to PIL not being installed as shown when starting Zope
in foreground. 

I have emerged dev-python/imaging but Zope still cannot see PIL. I think
the issue is because Plone/Zope depends on python 2.4. 

Any recommendations on a fix???

You might have to run python-updater in order to install all
python-packages for this version. I'm not sure if python-updater does
this correctly if you don't have python-2.4 enabled via `eselect
python`. You might want to try this as well.

Hope this helps,

I have eselect python2.4 but when running python-updater I get:-

 File "/usr/bin/portageq", line 98
    except portage.exception.InvalidAtom as e:
                                          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
  File "/usr/bin/portageq", line 98
    except portage.exception.InvalidAtom as e:
                                          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
 * Python 2 and Python 3 not installed

Have also tried emerge imaging with python2.4 set and get :- 

File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 44 except PermissionDenied as e:
                             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
on2.4

Think the python-updater looks forward but not backward (if you see
what I mean) 

I have also tried changing all the references in bin scripts from
python2.4 to python2.7 but this fails miserably. The only thing I can
think of at the moment is to download manual package and install but
I'm really not sure where this is going to stick all the modules?

Thanks

Always a little unsure about installing packages
manually. I like to let emerge do everything.

I eselect python set 1 which set python2.4. Downloaded
Imaging-1.1.6.tar.gz from Python site. Installed using setup.py install.
Switched back to python2.7.

Old instance would not run but:-

Then created a new zopeinstance. Copied the
contents /usr/share/zproduct/plone-3.1.7/lib/python
and /usr/share/zproduct/plone-3.1.7/Products 

to instance

And yippee I can create Plone site and all looks good at the mo

Thanks for advice

I've once ran Plone on Gentoo. I'm pretty sure I didn't have to resort
to manual installing but I can't remember what the solution was. Anyway,
it was too much trouble and I dropped Plone. If I ever have to use it
again, I just use a virtualized Linux installation for it which comes
with python-2.4 out-of-the-box. I'd recommend Scientific Linux-5.5
(update to 5.6 coming soon) as a Red Hat clone.

yeah its not really the way to go but nevermind. Probably won't use it anyway. A little too complicated for my needs. Looking for something a bit simpler?

not really, I tried the Gentoo ebuild first but also failed.
Installing the Plone source package from plone.org works fine for me
for months now (uses its own copy of Python, *not* replacing the
system's copy of Python).
