Please help!

Install problems on FreeBSD

I've installed ZOPE several times before on different systems
(win98, NT, Linux) for testing purposes. Always logged in as 'root'
I never encountered any problems. Recently I finally decided to upgrade
my web-site to a ZOPE-Site and that's when the trouble started.
Without the root privilege I had experienced every single problem
possible. But finally I managed to build both python and ZOPE. The OS
is FreeBSD 4.0-stable and I used both the binary and source package. I
how ever can not start neither of them. All I get is a bunch of error
messages. I also would like to use ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse
configuration. Do I use w_pcgi.py or wo_pcgi.py to build ZOPE. I think
since I will not be using pcgi it should be the latter. I am including the junk I got after trying to start ZOPE. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
