[Zope] can't install PoPy

on RedHat 7.0
Postgres 7.0.2 in /usr/postgres (from the source .gz)
Zope 2.3.0 in /home/zope (from the source .gz)

when I run ./configure I get:

checking for python... /usr/bin/python
checking python version... 1.5
checking python installation prefix... /usr
checking python installation exec_prefix... /usr
checking definitions in Python library makefile... sed: can't read

done

configure: error: can't build without PostgreSQL libraries

./configure --with-python=/home/zope/bin/python --with-postgres-libraries=/u
sr/postgres/lib --with-post
gres-includes=/usr/postgres/include

and some other combinations without effect.

I am a bit confused, because I can't remember a problem on my previous
installation on RedHat 6.2.
Do I have to build the /usr/lib/python1.5/config/Makefile somehow?
why are the PostgreSQL Libraries not found?

Any clues?
Thanks in advance!
