Hope there's some Plone geeks here. ;)

I've been struggling most the day trying to set up my Plone 3 instances such that I can use add-on products. It was SO much easier adding products in Plone 2.x!!!!!! Been reading and mostly grokking the tutorial at:

   http://plone.org/documentation/tutorial/buildout

Pathetically, I can't even get Pil installed. :( I get as far as executing:

   /usr/local/bin/python2.4 selftest.py

Which gives me the error: (about 100 times)

   Fatal error 'Cannot allocate red zone for initial thread' at line 384 in file /usr/src/lib/libthr/thread/thr_init.c (errno = 12)

When I google the error, the results show mostly stuff pertaining to FreeBSD ports problems. Argh. I question whether I even need Pil and decide to continue with the aforementioned tutorial at plone.org. The rest actually goes pretty well, until I try to generate a buildout with:

   paster create -t plone3_buildout myproject

I answer all the questions I see just fine: zope path? /usr/local/www/Zope210 products path? /usr/local/www/Zope210/Products admin user? admin... etc.. Then when I'm done, paster tries to do it's thing and then I am rewarded with a familiar message:

   Fatal error 'Cannot allocate red zone for initial thread' at line 384 in file /usr/src/lib/libthr/thread/thr_init.c (errno = 12)

About 100 more times. ;) 

Anyone have any advice? Why is the Zope/Plone crew seemingly making add-on products so ridiculously complicated in Plone 3? What's the payoff?

Thanks to anyone who cares to humor me on this. :)
