Good question. The configure script should be checking whether the zlib with which Ethereal would be linked - which is *not* necessarily the one with which Tethereal would be linked, thanks to X11 possibly having a crappy old version - has "gzgets()"; the script would check "for gzgets missing when linking with X11", and report "old zlib found when linking with X11 - get rid of old zlib." if it finds the crappy old zlib. Did that not happen when you ran the configure script before you got rid of the crappy old zlib? If not, what happens if you put back the crappy old zlib, do a "make distclean" in the top-level Ethereal source directory, and run the configure script?
