You're right! :)  Thank you very much. I exported PYTHONPATH again,
leaving out the "ZEO" this time, and now "zeopack.py" is working as
expected:

myhost:/ # export PYTHONPATH=/soft/Plone/Zope-2.10.9-final-py2.4/lib/python

myhost:/ # /soft/Plone/Python-2.4/bin/python
/soft/Plone/Zope-2.10.9-final-py2.4/lib/python/ZEO/scripts/zeopack.py
Connect to a ZEO server and ask it to pack.

Usage: zeopack.py [options]

Options:

    -p port -- port to connect to

    -h host -- host to connect to (default is current host)

    -U path -- Unix-domain socket to connect to

    -S name -- storage name (default is '1')

    -d days -- pack objects more than days old

    -1 -- Connect to a ZEO 1 server

    -W -- wait for server to come up.  Normally the script tries to
       connect for 10 seconds, then exits with an error.  The -W
       option is only supported with ZEO 1.

You must specify either -p and -h or -U.

Cheers,
