[Zope] OT: Help a newbie install Zope 2.0!

I have recently done a vanilla install of RedHat 5.2 (server config) onto an intel machine here at work, and have located and installed the RPM's for Python 1.5.2. I have also downloaded the source archilve, but I'm unsure what comes next. I am not an experienced Linux user, and am a bit overwhelmed by the documentation. Can anyone help by describing the procedure to uncompress the archive, compile, and install Zope 2.0? And is the setup I described adequate, or are some other prerequisites (I'm wondering if ZAP will work with the alpha version)? Thank you for your attention, Michael Bernstein.
