 Status: Pending => Rejected

I can't reproduce this:

$ cd collector_1786/

$ ~/projects/Zope-CVS/Zope-2.7-branch/configure --with-python=~/projects/Zope-CVS/bin/python2.3 --optimize

Configuring Zope installation

  - Zope top-level binary directory will be /opt/Zope-2.7.
  - Distutils install flags will be "--optimize=1 --no-compile"
  - Makefile written.

  Next, run make.

$ make
....

Zope built. Next, do 'make install' (or 'make instance'
to run a Zope instance directly from the build directory).

$ make install
...
Zope binaries installed successfully.
Now run '/tmp/collector_1786/installed/bin/mkzopeinstance.py'

---------------8< ------------------------

I do see one odditiy in your environment: the traceback shows that
Python is trying to import an odd filename: '/tmp/re.so'.

The 're' module in Python is not a shared library, but a wrapper
around the 'pcre.so' library (in the 'lib-dynload' directory of
your Python library).

Specifying the --optimize flag with ./configure causes make install to fail:

Testing for an acceptable Python interpreter...

Python version 2.3.5 found at /usr/local/bin/python

The optimum Python version (2.3.5) was found at /usr/local/bin/python.

  - Zope top-level binary directory will be /opt/Zope-2.7.6.
  - Distutils install flags will be "--optimize=1 --no-compile"
  - Makefile written.

  Next, run make.

With --optimize removed, the installation succeeds.
