The INSTALL.txt file should either make it clear that 'make install' is unnecessary if 'make instance' was used. The instructions for "Optional: Building and Installing Zope 'In-Place'" didn't spell that out for me, so I did: ./configure make instance make install I think either the 'In-Place' section of INSTALL.txt should say to skip the make install step, or the make install step should say to not do this if make instance was used.
