[Zope] Installation Problem

[Kevin White]

Lo Folks,

New to Zope and it took me all of five mins to trip up. I am having  
to do a source install using 2.9.3 on Linux system with Python 2.3. I  
am running into all manner of syntax errors when I do make install.  
For example:

   File "/var/www/zope/lib/python/zope/app/apidoc/static.py", line 126
     @property
     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
   File "/var/www/zope/lib/python/zope/app/wsgi/fileresult.py", line 41
     @component.adapter(file,  
zope.publisher.interfaces.http.IHTTPRequest)
     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
   File "/var/www/zope/lib/python/zope/app/container/constraints.py",  
line 240
     @readproperty
     ^

There are more but I figured there was no point in swamping you :)  
Anyone have any pointers?

Thanks for any help

Kevin
