You need the kernel sources package and the kernel headers package.

I've never tried it, but you might try mounting it as hpfs:

   mount -t hpfs /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip
   (assuming those are the correct device and mount point.)

Whether that works or not, Macs can mount PC formatted Zip disks.  Simply
change the partition type and reformat it.
