Always a little unsure about installing packages
manually. I like to let emerge do everything.

I eselect python set 1 which set python2.4. Downloaded
Imaging-1.1.6.tar.gz from Python site. Installed using setup.py install.
Switched back to python2.7.

Old instance would not run but:-

Then created a new zopeinstance. Copied the
contents /usr/share/zproduct/plone-3.1.7/lib/python
and /usr/share/zproduct/plone-3.1.7/Products 

to instance

And yippee I can create Plone site and all looks good at the mo

Thanks for advice
