Hi SURABHI,
I see that you have created a thread on Linux Networking forum and also one on Installation forum for the same problem. Do not "fork threads" on the same topic on multiple forums.

Now, for your problem, which distribution do use? You need to install the respective kernel-headers package which contains the header files which actually specify the interface between Linux kernel and the userspace programs and libraries. After installing this package, try to install zope.

I am using Knoppix 5.

Hi SURABHI,
You can use synaptic to search and install kernel-headers packages. Or else, use apt-get to install it as follows : -

# apt-get install kernel-headers-`uname -r`

I tried to install the kernel header package but I got following error.
E: Couldn't find package kernel-headers-2.6.17

Hi SURABHI,

E: Couldn't find package kernel-headers-2.6.17

Post the output of the following command : -

$ uname -a

apt-get install synaptic
1.dpkg: error processing python2.3 (--configure):
2.dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of python2.3-dev:
3.E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Try to upgrade python using apt.
