I downloaded the latest version of Zope and compiled the same as mentioned in the install.txt. Following are the steps:

./configure --prefix=/where/to/install/zope

make

make install

/where/to/install/zope/bin/mkzopeinstance.py

Gave the directory name and initial user details.

When I run ./bin/zopectl start, I get the following error:

backup:~/Desktop/Zope2 dcool$ ./bin/zopectl fg
