[Grok-dev] Re: How do I install Grokstar?

I am running on Macosx 10.4.9 with python 2.4 which I have compiled  
from source, and Zope3.3 which I also compiled from source.

I have followed the instructions, making sure I use the python 2.4  
compiler (it failed first time around "Error: Couldn't find a  
distribution for zc.recipe.zope3instance" because I used python 2.3,  
but I saw the comments about this in an earlier thread). Eventually  
[buildout] ends in a massive list that kind of looks like this:

"""
zope.i18n 3.4dev-r73098 is required by zope.app.testing 3.4.0a1.
zope.app.testing 3.4.0a1 is required by zope.app.catalog 3.4.0a1.
zope.app.catalog 3.4.0a1 is required by zc.catalog 1.2dev-r74688.
zc.catalog 1.2dev-r74688 is required by hurry.query 0.9.2.
hurry.query 0.9.2 is required by Grokstar 0.0.
zope.app.testing 3.4.0a1 is required by zope.app.intid 3.4.0a1.
zope.app.intid 3.4.0a1 is required by zope.app.catalog 3.4.0a1.
zope.app.catalog 3.4.0a1 is required by zc.catalog 1.2dev-r74688.
zc.catalog 1.2dev-r74688 is required by hurry.query 0.9.2.
hurry.query 0.9.2 is required by Grokstar 0.0.
"""

...only it repeats itself with small variations over probably 100  
lines...

Can I add the packages myself to my existing Zope3.3 installation?

Regards Sebastian
