Looks like it's having trouble with your zlib.  First, make sure there is
one and only one libz.so on your system (having two copies in different 
directories is often the problem).  Then go to the directory where zlib is
kept, and type:
   $ nm libz.so |grep compress
   000017bc T compress
   00001718 T compress2
   00006910 t compress_block
   000030d8 T uncompress

Your numbers may vary, but you need at least the "T compress" and the 
"T uncompress" lines there.  Lastly, make sure that libz.so is able to
be found; that means it is either in /lib, /usr/lib, or any directory 
given after a "-L" in the above gcc command.

Best of Luck,
