[Zope3-Users] virtualenv problems

[George Wright]

Gidday
I have been trying to set up a virtualenv as has been suggested  
several times on this list.
Following steps in section 1.4 of "Zope Component Architecture.pdf"
I have a path problem:

$ easy_install virtualenv
...
virtualenv 0.8.4 is already the active version in easy-install.pth
Installing virtualenv script to /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ 
Versions/2.4/bin
Using /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/ 
site-packages/virtualenv-0.8.4-py2.4.egg
...
Finished processing dependencies for virtualenv

$ virtualenv myvirtualenv
New python executable in myvirtualenv/bin/Python
ERROR: The executable myvirtualenv/bin/Python is not functioning
ERROR: It thinks sys.prefix is '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ 
Versions/2.4' (should be '/Users/georgewright/myvirtualenv')
ERROR: virtualenv is not compatible with this system or executable
$

How do I fix that sys.prefix problem?
Following threads on virtualenv I gather I should be using a "non- 
system python installation". How do I do that?
Thanks
