---------------

      If binaries aren't available for your platform, chances are good
      that you will be able to compile Zope from its source code.  To
      do this, however, you first must:

       - ensure you have a "C" compiler on your system (GNU gcc is
         preferred)

       - ensure you have a recent "make" on your system (GNU make is
         preferred)

       - install the "Python":http://www.python.org language on your
         system from source.

         Zope also requires zlib (www.zlib.org) - if compiling Python from source, install zlib before compiling
         Python.
