[Zope] home option ignored on this platform

It seems that my problem with '--prefix' results from Python ignoring the home option. According to the Makefile, 'make install' runs:- running build_scripts /usr/bin/python "U:/unixos2/workdir/Zope-2.7.0/setup.py" install \ --home="/usr/local/zope" --build-base="U:/unixos2/workdir/Zope-2.7.0/build-base/python-2.3" --build-lib="U:/unixos2/workdir/Zope-2.7.0/build-base/python-2.3/build-lib" --build-scripts="U:/unixos2/workdir/Zope-2.7.0/build-base/python-2.3/build-scripts" --build-temp="U:/unixos2/workdir/Zope-2.7.0/build-base/python-2.3/build-temp" running install warning: ZopeInstall: home option ignored on this platform Where do I find ZopeInstall and why does Python decide to ignore the home option? -- John
