i read it again, this time following the section "Installing Zope
using easy_install" word by word (except inserting the correct zope2
version number into the easy_install command).

here's the outcome:

[jh at t5-laptop ~]$ virtualenv --no-site-packages my_zope
New python executable in my_zope/bin/python2.6
Also creating executable in my_zope/bin/python
Installing setuptools............done.

[jh at t5-laptop ~]$ cd my_zope
[jh at t5-laptop my_zope]$ source bin/activate
(my_zope)[jh at t5-laptop my_zope]$ bin/easy_install -i http://download.zope.org/Zope2/index/2.12.0c1
Zope2
 ...
(my_zope)[jh at t5-laptop my_zope]$ bin/mkzopeinstance
Please choose a directory in which you'd like to install
Zope "instance home" files such as database files, configuration
files, etc.

Directory: /home/jh/my_zope
Please choose a username and password for the initial user.
These will be the credentials you use to initially manage
