The entire raster compression is based on libz. Be sure to specify the
path when running "configure":

configure --help |grep zlib 
  --with-zlib-includes=DIR
                          Specify includes directory for zlib
  --with-zlib-libs=DIR
                          Specify library directory for zlib

Then it will compile.

Cheers
