Dear Zopers (Zops? Zopians?),

This is my first try with Zope. Building on RH Linux 6.0
( python w_pcgi.py ) went fine, however...

Traceback (innermost last):

IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:

This was obviously because 'nobody' could write in
'/usr/local/src/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/var/'.

'chmod go+w /usr/local/src/Zope-2.0.0b5-src/var/' solved that.

Is this an installation bug? Should I report it somewhere?
