Looks like the gentoo thing doesn't set the right ownership on the files 
it installs :-(

All the Zope source files need to be readable by the user that Zope runs 
as. You should probably take this up with the person maintaining the 
gentoo package, and use Zope source installation in the meantime.

In any case, source installs generally tend to be better anyway ;-)

Zope REALLY shouldn't run as Zope. I suspect that what it means is that 
the "nobody" user isn't allowed to rea that file..

cheers,

Chris
