[Zope] Error compiling Zope 2.5 with Python 2.2: Missing Makefile.pre.in

[KEVIN ZEMBOWER]

I'm trying to compile Zope 2.5 on a system with Python 2.2. The command
"python w_pcgi.py" ends with this error:
Compiling extensions in lib/python
cp /usr/local/lib/python2.2/config/Makefile.pre.in .
cp: cannot stat `/usr/local/lib/python2.2/config/Makefile.pre.in': No
such file or directory

In searching the Zope mailing list archives, an earlier poster
suggested using a Makefile.pre.in from Python 2.1. I got Python 2.1.2,
untar'ed it, and "ln -s  /tmp/Python-2.1.2/Makefile.pre.in
/usr/local/lib/python2.2/config/Makefile.pre.in" The results were only
slightly different:

Compiling extensions in lib/python
cp /usr/local/lib/python2.2/config/Makefile.pre.in .
make -f Makefile.pre.in boot PYTHON=/usr/local/bin/python
make: *** No rule to make target `boot'.  Stop.

The earlier poster suggested that this be a FAQ; I concur. Can anyone
help me get beyond this point?

Thanks in advance for your help.
