Assuming you have apt installed and correctly configured (on
an up to date Debian/sid):

keuner:~$ apt-cache --names-only search zope-p | grep Database
zope-popyda - A Database Adapter connecting Zope and PostgreSQL
zope-psycopgda - Zope Database Adapter based on python-psycopg
zope-pygresqlda - A Zope Database Adapter for PostgreSQL

Hence, as root:
# apt-get install zope-popyda zope-psycopgda zope-pygresqlda


If you insist on installing from source, you need some -dev packages,
notably postgresql-dev.
