I don't think you will get many responses to this as FC5 is 
obsolete at this point.

One suggestion is to run ./configure --help while you are 
compiling zen and see if there is a debug option to the 
configure.  If so, run configure with debug enabled and you 
should be able to get your debug information.

If you absolutely need this package, your next option is to 
search the web for any archives that might contain it.  That 
is only about 3 years old, so there might be one.
