Use quagga.  Zebra has not been updated in ages.  Quagga is zeroing in
on a 1.0 release Zebra stopped even looking toward ages ago.  Lots of
changes in BGPd in Quagga (like MD5 signatures) you just won't find in
Zebra.

If you are running a modern Linux distribution (or maybe the BSD's) you are probably running Quagga, a fork of Zebra, and not Zebra.  There are now a lot of things in Quagga that never made it into Zebra.  There hasn't been anything going on with Zebra, the project, in a long time.

Do you even know which you want to use or what you intend to do with it?  I won't say they are mutually exclusive (certainly ospfd and ospf6d could be seen together) but you carpet bombing us for newbie help and that tends to encourage me to direct you to an introductory text in routing protocols.
