configure had found zlib earlier in its run, so it's on his machine
somewhere. The problem here is inconsistency between the library search
path used when creating an executable and the search path used by the
dynamic loader at run time. (gcc's habit of searching /usr/local/lib
by default can be nasty on a platform whose dynamic loader doesn't also
have that convention...)
