I am trying to install zope 2.10.4 in a custom path via:
./configure --prefix=my/custom/path
make
make install

I have no errors during building/installation, but i can't find any script in my/custom/path/bin: mkzopeinstance.py and others are missing.

The script ignores --prefix directive and uses my $PATH to copy script; at this point, if i try to execute mkzopeinstance.py in the arbitrary $PATH location, i get an error claiming that 'skel' directory is missing
