Here Ethereal is being linked angainst zlib (the '-lz' option above).

However, gzseek, a zlib function, is not found.

1. Does /usr/include/zlib.h exist on your system?
2. If so, what version is it? The version info should be in the
	first few lines of zlib.h
3. Do you have /usr/lib/libz.a or /usr/lib/libz.so (or libz.so.1 or
	libz.so.1.1.3) ?
