Sinan,
   Thanks, after getting home and taking a fresh look at the issue, I
was able to get it to configure and later compile using:
LIBS='-latlas' ./configure --with-hdf5=/usr/lib

Apparently, the default lapack that comes with Ubuntu is the ATLAS
build. I also had to make sure I had gfortran and not g77 installed,
guile-1.6-dev, and a few other -dev's I was missing. I also had to
build libctl from source as the latest in the Ubuntu repositories is
3.0.2 . Not sure where the zlib issue was coming from, but the
--with-hdf5 string seemed to kill it as well.
