[Setup] Restoring a Plone 3 website

[CapnKirk]

Situation: a server went down permanently, which had a Plone 3 website. I
want to restore it on our new hardware. OS: Ubuntu Server 11.04 "Natty". I
have the ZOPE db backups. I assume that trying to restore these Plone 3
backups on a current Plone 4.x platform is going to give me problems.

I found and am following the recipe for installing Plone 3 on Ubuntu here:

http://plone.org/documentation/kb/installing-a-plone-buildout-on-ubuntu

I got Python 2.4 compiled and running. I then got to the step:

> # 3) Get ZopeSkel paster scripts
> sudo easy_install-2.4 ZopeSkel

Standard out give me this:
****************************************************

and then the script ended. But standard error reported this (beginning and
end only; middle edited out):

This suggests to me that the easy_install script ended abnormally.

Can anyone tell me if this is the case, or that I can proceed with the rest
of the install?

Any suggestions welcome and appreciated!

TIA,

Kirk
