what david says is correct.
furthermore you must (as the error suggests) add the user as which the
zope process should run as to the zope config.
open the /yourInstance/etc/zope.conf in an editor and look for
"effective-user".
this you set to the name of the user as which you start zope.
if you allways start zope as this user, the variable can be left unset.
however if you want to start zope as root
(eg in the start up process of your computer) then it MUST be set.
the reason for this is, that for security reason, zope is not allowed to
run as user root.
if started by user root, the zope.conf is consulted and the process
handed over to the effective user.
hence the need for this user to have rw permissions.

Hi
I am trying to install Zope 2.9.3 or 2.9.1 on Suse 10.1 and this is what
I
get:
error: must supply either home or prefix/exec-prefix -- not both
make: *** [install] Error 1
Any ideas what to do?
Please try again with a Python source build. Usually we don't care much
about system Python installation that are often broken in different ways.

Maybe this can help?
This is from either Plope or Plone site (i think I snipped it long ago):
<<
If you are running everything as root, you will get an instance that
cannot be started, because a different effective user id is required
for it to change to. Even if you create an account after the fact,
that user cannot start zope because it doesn't have access to any of
the instance files.
The best way to run mkzopeinstance is to first su to another user (su
zope) and then run mkzopeinstance.py. The zope user must have write
access to create the directory.
EFFECTIVE-USER
After the instance is created, edit "effective-user zope" into the
etc/zope.conf, so if you start it as root later it should su itself to
the non-root user.
