Sorry about that.  Ubuntu 11.10.

I used

Plone-4.1.2-UnifiedInstaller.tar

which installed o.k.  I'm serving a webpage on my LAN.

I did a search on files named "python" on my machine.
There are 23 not including the ones in the Plone
buildout-cache in my account.  Seems like a lot of
applications install their own copy of python.

There are also

./usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so
./usr/lib/libz.so

which, I believe, are the zlib libraries.

I've read that you can reinstall python with configure
using the "--with-zlib" option, but configure isn't in

/usr/local/Plone/Python-2.6/lib/python2.6/config

I think the python interpreter for the command line is
the one in /usr/bin/python.  Would this be the one I
reconfigure for zlib?  Should I simply install python from

Python-3.2.2.tgz?
