I find that it's almost always easier and faster to download both Python and
Zope fom source and compile it, than to use precompiled package.

You are running on a Linux system that doesn't have gcc? Wow. Yeah, that
would cause problems.
The prerequisites to building Zope is only gcc (or MSVC on Windows) and
Python 2.3.3, as far as I know. What the prerequisites for Python 2.3.3 is I
don't know, I have always been able to just compile it on a clean Linux
system with gcc, so it shouldn't be that much problems.
