[Zope] Newbie question -- starting Zope under Mac OS X

[James Webster]

Many apologies for posting a very newbie-ish question but I'm keen to get 
started with Zope on my Mac.

I've compiled python 2.1.2 successfully, following the instructions in the 
zope.org site.

I've run the wo_pcgi.py script and compiled Zope-2.5.0 into 
/usr/local/Zope-2.5.0.

However, when I run sudo ./start, I get the following message:

<stdout>
------

IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/Zope-2.5.0/var/Z2.pid'

</stdout>

I know enough to understand that there seems to be an ownership question here 
but what I haven't been able to work out is how I ought to change ownership.  
Do I need to create a special user to run zope, or what?  I'm sure that the 
answer is staring me in the face but I thought that I would ask the 
community, whilst apologising for what might be a rather trivial enquiry.


Many thanks

James
