At a guess, the skipped tests are due to a lack of libraries and headers
for the related functions.  I would install them (via the '-devel'
pacakges, if appropriate), and rebuild Zope.

The 'zipimport' failure may also be related to a missing library /
header;  without the traceback, we can't tell, however.
