No problem; now it's my turn to say sorry for taking forever to reply.
It seems that my error was to run "./configure" instead of
"./configure --with-zlib". While it's documented that zlib is
currently required, it escaped me that I need to explitly include it.

I believe that modifying the "INSTALLATION" section of README to say
"./configure --with-zlib" instead of "./configure" would be a good
idea. So would a differently worded #warning in zlib.c ("zlib.h not
present. try calling configure --with-zlib").

I'll get back here when I got any further with playing.

Greetings
Marc
