error starting ZOPE

[Daniel T. Bender]

hi folks!

i downloaded the Zope-2.4.2-src, unpacked it and build all the stuff via 
"python wo_pcgi.py"
everything is compiled etc, but when i try to run the ./start script i 
always get:

PANIC(300) z2 Startup exception
Traceback (innermost last):
  File /root/Zope-2.4.2-src/z2.py, line 757, in ?
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/root/Zope-2.4.2-src/var/Z2.pid'

i have tried the binary-version of zope and get the same error ...
any hints?
