Use the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables to specify where zlib is 
installed,
or if it isn't installed yet, download and install it. Details of how to use 
CPPFLAGS and
LDFLAGS to do this are here, with examples:

Note especially the use of the ZDIR shell variable to indicate where zlib is 
installed.
