That's odd.  I've never specified any libz options in configure, and  
it finds the system libz by default.  FWIW, I think the only thing  
that needs libz is the HDF formats with SZ compression enabled in the  
HDF libraries.


PS. have you tried using my GDAL framework?  Or do you need the unix  
library build for OSX?
