zope/plone breaks on dapper drake
Last week I quite thoroughly blew up the Ubuntu installation on my test server. This was after repeatedly taking various approaches to installing Zope/Plone on Dapper Drake (both by apt-get and Synaptic installer) and getting the same I/O error over and over and over and over and over…
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied
Meanwhile, threads on the Ubuntu Forum point to a bug in Dapper Drake that makes it seriously difficult to set up Zope/Plone.
At this juncture, I resolved to upgrade from Drake to Eft, since I did not have much to lose. Unfortunately the Eft upgrade broke my ColdFusion install as well as several other packages.
So now it’s time for a clean install of Edgy Eft and a prayer to Saint Brendan, the Patron Saint of Navigators.

found this searching for something totally different and couldn’t resist
IIRC
apt-get install zlib1g zlib1g-dev
build zope from source…not hard
./configure
make
make install
they must have built zope without the zlib1g packages
Cheers

Thank you, Kevin. As of this writing (October 2007) anyone looking to install Zope/Plone on Ubuntu should have upgraded to Fawn a while ago. I also recommend either using Plone’s Unified Installer, http://plone.org/documentation/tutorial/installing-plone-3-with-the-unified-installer, or the Debian Install instructions to be found here: https://weblion.psu.edu/trac/weblion/wiki/InstallPloneOnDebian. I’ve had zero problems using the Unified Installer on Ubuntu Fawn.
