These are warnings coming from GCC (as opposed to errors, which would prevent compilation from finishing).
GCC 4.X emits these pointer signedness warnings whereas earlier GCC versions did not. This issue has been fixed on the Zope trunk, I believe (the codebase which will become Zope 2.10).
Thanks for the answer!
I went ahead and continued then with my installation.
after running 'make install' with no problems, I created an instance via the /usr/local/bin/zope/bin/mkzopeinstance.py script. The script ran fine with no errors.
Following the INSTALL.txt file in the Zope directory, my next step would be to head over to my installed instance and run the zopectl script to get things going.
When I ran it, I get the following:
slimemold[62]:/home/jello/zope/bin% ./zopectl start

ImportError: /usr/local/bin/zope/lib/python/persistent/cPersistence.so: undefined symbol: PyUnicodeUCS2_AsEncodedString
I configured this to use /usr/local/bin/python (2.4.2 compiled) instead of the default /usr/bin/python (2.4.1 package).
I searched the archives to look for something here, and I've found one similar thread:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/zope/users/163264?search_string=%2Bzopectl%20%2Bimporterror;#163264
which mentions some possibilities:
"Ah. uhm.. sorry. This traceback can only occur when cPersistence.so
wasnt compiled yet, has been deleted, is for the wrong python version
or is otherwise unavailable.
It is usually generated thru installation/compilation.
I'd check paths for INSTANCE_HOME, SOFTWARE_HOME etc;
which python version is used (and if its different to
the version you installed with) "
So far with this installation, the only (as far as I can tell) modification from the vanilla installation is that I'm using a seperate python instance on the box. Otherwise it's a simple configure/make/make install from the /tmp directory.
I installed zope to /usr/local/bin/zope and given my regular user write permissions (via group) to that directory so that my 'make install' didn't require a sudo. I installed the instance to /home/jello/zope and ran the /home/jello/zope/bin/zopectl start command (as referenced above) with the aforementioned output.
I'm thinking it must be something really simple because I'm not seeing it in the archives and I'm not really deviating from what's in the doc/INSTALL.txt file. (I didn't see anything different in the Zope book either. It's all pretty straightforward from what I'm reading. http://www.plope.com/Books/2_7Edition/InstallingZope.stx#2-6)
Anyone have ideas? I'd appreciate it!
Thanks in advance!

Python Unicode versions: If you get errors mentioning "unresolved symbol PyUnicodeUCS2_AsEncodedString" during loading of the mxODBC Zope DA product, you are likely using a Linux distribution which ships with a UCS4-build (4-byte Unicode) of Python.
RedHat 9 and SuSE 9 and later ship with UCS4 builds of Python and Zope, so please download the UCS4 versions of the product.
To find out which Python Unicode you have, please run the following
command using the Python interpreter used by your Zope installation: python
-c "import sys; print (sys.maxunicode < 66000) and 'UCS2' or 'UCS4'"
