Depending on how you did things, there are two levels to DOracle2 and 
Zope, the DA, and the actual database adapter.


It looks like you're trying to install the python adapter in the system 
libraries, which of course, is probably 
/usr/local/lib/python2.1/lib/python for you, not 
/usr/local/lib/python2.1 unless you changed the default library paths 
(ie I am assuming you just configured python with configure 
--prefix=/usr/local/lib/python2.1 )  Since I cant tell how you built 
python, I dont know where its supposed to go.  However, you should be 
able to CD to that directory and just run python manually and have it work.
