Indeed, if your ZODB isn't installed into the default site-packages
directory, it's a matter of doing

    setup.py install --install-platlib=/where/Zope/lives/

and it will place the files in

    /where/Zope/lives/ZEO/
    /where/Zope/lives/ZODB/
    /where/Zope/lives/ZConfig/

.. etc.

Take care,
