Hi Ruslan,

first thanks for an amazing quick response and to Perry for forwarding 
to the right place.

On a tinderbox with src from a snapshot of 9.0-CURRENT and recent ports 
it builds fine, also on the host which has the same src and ports tree 
it builds and installs fine - but nothing happens when I run the command 
at least as non-root user. The prompt returns after a moment and that's 
it. There is no zim process running and ~/.zim is not created.
Running as root there are some error messages which I can report if 
required which seem to relate to sqlite3. And there is a zim process but 
still no ~/.zim.
Python on this machine is 2.7.2

However the computer I really want to run it on is running 8.1-RELEASE 
and ports from around Sept 2010. Python is version 2.6.6. That's my 
laptop and main day-to-day machine. I'm having problems with the more 
recent ports on the other machine in relation to nvidia driver and/or 
flash and/or firefox and would prefer not to upgrade the laptop until 
those are working.

Here's what I did for the laptop.

muji2# cd /usr/ports/editors/
muji2# mv zim zim-0.29
muji2# fetch http://happy-nation DOT by DOT ru/ports/zim-0.52.tgz.txt
# munged by me as blocked by my ISP :(
zim-0.52.tgz.txt                              100% of 3476  B   11 MBps
muji2# mv zim-0.52.tgz.txt zim-0.52.tgz
muji2# tar xvf zim-0.52.tgz
x zim/
x zim/Makefile
x zim/distinfo
x zim/pkg-descr
x zim/pkg-plist
muji2# cd zim
muji2# ls

muji2# pwd
/usr/ports/editors/zim
muji2# make
