Try configuring with zlib, put

	#define	HAVE_UNISTD_H	1

in "wtap.h" just before the

	#include "zlib.h"

line, and recompile; then see if that works.

If it works, it may be that the NetBSD "zlib" is built with a 64-bit
"z_off_t", while the FreeBSD "zlib" is built with a 32-bit "z_off_t", so
that the NetBSD one doesn't work with programs that *don't* define
HAVE_UNISTD_H before including "zlib.h" while the FreeBSD one doesn't
work with programs that *do* define it.
