Hi Alban,
Thanks for the reply !
I was able to resolve this issue, but, not by removing the older version of zlib (i was unable to do so due to dependencies).
I did not have older version of zlib-devel installed, I did that and able to install.
Regards,
VB

Apparently your installed libz doesn't provide a function that
configure is checking for. Perhaps upgrading it helps, if possible?
Another possibility is that configure gets pointed to an old version
of zlib as the first result from LD. You could try removing that, but
you probably have dependencies on it from other packages.

As a non-linux user this doesn't mean much to me.
