Hi Alejandro,

it is not so hard as it looks like at the start.
You should get Python as source and Zope as source.
There is always a README and mostly an INSTALL
file too which describes step by step how to build and
install.

In short, you set the CC var as you described, go to the
directory you unpacked python, then run:

./configure --with-thread
make
make test
make install

(ok, you can omit 'make test')

then go to the zope source and

python (<--- make sure you get _your_ new configured python
 here, not an older one on your system. If in doubt use the
full path, e.g. /usr/local/bin/python )

python wo_pcgi.py

after running it, call
python zpasswd.py inituser

then ./start

Good luck
Tino
