I've just managed to solve this on a gentoo box: you need to have swig 
installed. It's a prerequisite for wmi. You don't need to comment out those 
lines on a linux, and probably (though I'm not entirely sure) you don't need 
bazar and/or subversion either, if you're installing from the official tarball.

I do find it annoying that zenoss is trying to bundle everything required -- 
which might be good for novices, but it leaves me with a truckload of redundant 
installations (come on, re-install python? on a gentoo?) and it's even worse, 
if this fails (for exmaple swig is not included, and if it's not installed on 
the system, the installation fails just like this). And I suppose, those of us, 
who can wrangle a tarball installation, could manage with solving a few 
dependency issues. Especially, if they're listed upfront.

I just hope, that it's not like this on the supported distributions ...
