[ZPatterns] ZPatterns is busted on 1st install..please help

[Rob Miller]

the DynPersist.c file lives in the ZPatterns product directory.  you've  
got to get the correct 'Makefile.pre.in' for your system (check in the  
source code of the python installation, if you have it) and place it in  
the ZPatterns product directory.  then cd into this directory and  
execute the following commands:

make -f Makefile.pre.in boot; make

this should compile the module in question.  restart zope and all  
should be well.

this information is available in various documentation locations...  
you'll need to get used to using those resources if you hope to use  
ZPatterns effectively.  it's a bit of a learning curve, but well worth  
it, IMO, even if it's only for the design patterns education.  you've  
seen the recent ZPatterns How-To on zope.org?  that's probably the best  
place to start...
