Normally, this problem occurs when you have an old version of libz laying
around on you system, probably in /usr/X11R6/lib. If this wasn't a problem
to you until a while ago, you probably installed any software package on
your system that came along with an older (than 1.0.4, I think) version
of libz; perhaps under /usr/X11R6/lib or /opt/lib. This may have confused
your linker so it fetched the older one instead of the required newer one
(which was used before).
