That name always makes me wonder when they're releasing PennyOS or DollarOS :P

Apparently your installed libz doesn't provide a function that
configure is checking for. Perhaps upgrading it helps, if possible?
Another possibility is that configure gets pointed to an old version
of zlib as the first result from LD. You could try removing that, but
you probably have dependencies on it from other packages.

As a non-linux user this doesn't mean much to me.
