Ok, that doesn't sound right. Please try the versions listed at
http://www.zope.org/Members/adustman. If the Zope site is still down, you
can also get up-to-date versions at http://dustman.net/andy/python.

Make sure that the version that Zope uses is found first by your
shell. I'm guess you need to do this:

export PATH=/sw/scm/usr/bin:$PATH # bourne-like shell
setenv PATH /sw/scm/usr/bin:$PATH # csh-like shell

and then compile.
