[Zope] Strange errors while 'make'ing

[a blob of green gelatin]

Hi all,

I've been checking out the archives in an attempt to find an 
already-published answer to my problem and have only found one thread 
which comes close to describing what I'm seeing.

When run 'configure', there are no problems.  Once I try making things, I 
get strange errors which I suppose are probably python-related:

slimemold[52]:/tmp/Zope-2.9.1% ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/bin/zope

Configuring Zope installation

Testing for an acceptable Python interpreter...

Python version 2.4.1 found at /usr/bin/python
Python version 2.4.1 found at /usr/bin/python2
Python version 2.4.1 found at /usr/bin/python2.4
Python version 2.4.2 found at /usr/local/bin/python

The optimum Python version (2.4.2) was found at /usr/local/bin/python.

I have tried specifying the --with-python=/usr/local/bin/python option as 
well.  I've also attempted some of the suggestions in the one thread that 
seemed to pertain to what I was seeing:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/zope/users/179040?search_string=%2Bmake%20%2Berrors;#179040

slimemold[54]:/tmp/Zope-2.9.1% make -v
GNU Make 3.80

slimemold[55]:/tmp/Zope-2.9.1% uname -a
Linux slimemold.xxxxxxxxx.org 2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 #1 Wed Nov 9 19:01:56 
EST 2005 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I compiled the python 2.4.2 rather than used an rpm as part of the 
troubleshooting process.

Does anyone have any ideas why there errors are popping up upon 'make'?

Thanks in advance!
