I'm not sure if this is the case, but it looks like, for one reason or 
another, your zope is starting with a different python from the one with 
which it was compiled.

A problem I often encountered when having different python on a server, 
and with python compiled with enable-shared switch on (you can check 
this by running ldd against the python executable).

If the library path find is not correctly set, you will end starting 
your newly compiled python with another python library...
