zebra is suffering from the permission problem. A proper fix is to
tell zebra which user it should run as, and point the PID file to a
directory owned by than user, as in:

# Supposing you created "quagga" user and group to run the suit:
sudo mkdir /var/run/quagga
sudo chown quagga:quagga /var/run/quagga
sudo /usr/local/quagga/sbin/zebra -u quagga -g quagga -i
/var/run/quagga/zebra.pid

A dirtier fix is to point the PID file to a friendlier place:
sudo /usr/local/quagga/sbin/zebra -i /tmp/zebra.pid

This means pimd is conflicting with an existing, previous instance of pimd.
Kill it first:
$ sudo pkill pimd

Then restart it:
$ sudo /usr/local/quagga/sbin/pimd
