php install zlib error

I am trying to compile php and I get the following error:

configure: error: Cannot find libz
#

I have tried a couple of different commands like:
CFLAGS=3D'-DEAPT' ./configure --with-apxs2=3D/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs
--with-mysql=3D/opt/sfw/mysql --with-zlib=3D/var/tmp/zlib-1.2.1
--with-gd=3D/opt/sfw/include

I have apache and mysql working currently.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Download the zlib development package. zlib-devel-1.2.2.2-1.i386.html

I rely on Yellowdog Package Manager (yum) to install the libraries I need. To know the name of the development version, use rpmfind.net to see if the development version exists. I've had this happen before where I was downloading libstdc or some other standard library, and I found out the problem was that I didn't have the development package of that library. Same goes for this, the command "yum install zlib-devel" installed the package, and then PHP got past the zlib....

....instead it got stuck on Curl

I actually got through the Curl problem, and more. If you have any other hangups, I think I've figured out how to get the development libraries installed, even if you have to do it via the right order RPM packages which are dependent on each other.
