[Zope] installation on RH 6.1

Hi, I have a standard RH6.1 installation, and when compiling the zope src distribution (Zope-2.1.2-src.tgz) with pcgi, I get an error, "cp: /usr/lib/python1.5/config/Makefile.pre.in No such file or directory". I cannot find how to fix this. There is no Makefile.pre.in located anywhere in my python directory tree. Any suggestions. tejay
