Yes I did get it going.

If I remember correctly I downloaded
Python 2.3.5 tarball
Zope 2.7.6 tarball
and
zlib from http://www.zlib.net/

made a dir structure like:
$BASE/Zope for my zope specific ppython and the Zope build itself
$BASE/Zope/python
$BASE/zeo for the zeo instance
$BASE/plone  where I would  mkzopeinstace the  instance and plone in the
Products folder and connect it to the zeo I created for it.

Then I compiled (if you know what ubuntu renamed zlib to you can prolly
./configure --with-zlib=/path/to/ubuntu_ZLIB, but I was tired of looking):
intar && cd to Zlib dir
./configure && make && make install
untar && cd to Python 2.3.5
./configure --prefix=$BASE/Zope/python && make && make install
untar && cd to Zope dir
./configure --with-python=$BASE/Zope/Python/bin/python --prefix=$BASE/Zope

$BASE/Zope/bin/mkzeoinstance.py $BASE/zeo 7070
$BASE/Zope/bin/mkzopeinstance.py
answer prompts
Copy Plone into $BASE/zope/Products
start zeo&& start zope

drink a beer and have fun.
Then the 'T' and 'Y' keys stopped working completely on my laptop...:-(

This  is from memory so let me know how it goes...Or if you run into any
problems

cheers,
