Hello Jerome,

Thanks again for the info ... and this time, you hit the nail on the head.

I downloaded the patch, put it somewhere, and then prepended the path
to the file in from of $SOFTWARE_HOME in pythonpath in runzope and
zopectl, and voila!! I am now able to install erp5_accounting and
others ...  thanks a million ...

Not done yet, and will let you know if I encounter any further issues ...

Thanks to all of you for erp5 and for pointing me in the right
direction to try and resolve the issues I have encountered.
