Just some info, nothing more:
Apparently it is trying to link to image compression/decompression library,
called zlib I think.
libz.* things belongs to zlib1g-dev package (here in mixed potato/woody).
libz.* files should be in /usr/lib/. I think they are very common
installed, but of course you can check if they are missing.
PS. Argh, are you sure you wan't to run as root, when compiling programs?
Well, there may be reasons which I don't know.
