consequence the header and library files of zlib must be installed.
In case these zlib development files aren't present then they could be
installed via a package manager (apt-get, aptitude, rpm, yum) on POSIX
platforms. Another option is to build zlib from scratch and install it.
For Windows it is recommended to download \W{http://www.zlib.org}{zlib} from
