If your libz.so is in /usr/local/lib, that would explain it.  The gcc
command you get the error on isn't looking in /usr/local/lib to find
libraries.  First, double check to make sure there are no libz.so* files
elsewhere (in particular, check /usr/X11R6/lib).

Now, remove the config.cache file, and configure with the option
"--libdir=/usr/local/lib", it should find your /usr/local/lib/libz.so
properly.  Make sure you use this option whenever you are configuring a
GNOME package.

Best of Luck,
