I downloaded Zope 2.6.0b1 today from zope.org and tried to build it with Python from CVS, which failed, then Python 2.2.2 (also from CVS, but which should be between 2.2.2b1 and 2.2.2final), which also failed. Upon closer examination, it seems 2.1.x is required for Zope 2.5, though the doc/INSTALL.txt file says nothing about what Zope 2.6 requires. I then pulled the release21-maint branch of CVS and tried to build it on MacOSX. It failed spectacularly trying to compile Python/dynloadnext.c Am I wasting my time trying to build Zope on MacOSX?

This is not the correct list for this question, but then again I think you know that quite well ;-)

Zope requires 2.1, this includes Zope 2.6. The first Python2.2 version is scheduled to be 2.7.

I don't have OSX, but I heard about some difficulties. My coworker however successfully compiled 2.1.3 (from the source release, not CVS) and Z2.6 from CVS and reports it to work without a problem. He recommends latest gcc3.
