Sorry to hear about your various sysadmin rules, but have you considered building static libraries? That eliminates the problem. Rerun configure with --disable-shared. Another workaround would be to build HDF5 with the zlib 1.2.3 that you have and see if this causes any HDF5 or netCDF-4 test to fail. I doubt that my code will know the difference between 1.2.3 and 1.2.5. You must check the zlib site to see if the differences between these two versions are in some way important for you.
