You need the header files for zlib. Install zlib1g-dev if you use Woody.
If you use testing or unstable, use "apt-cache search zlib | grep dev" to
find out which version of the package you need. By the way, you can use
http://packages.debian.org to find out to which package a file you need
belongs.
