It seems like Wireshark no longer compiles if zlib is 1.2.1:

file_wrappers.c: In function `file_seek':
file_wrappers.c:893: warning: implicit declaration of function `inflatePrime'
make: *** [libwiretap_la-file_wrappers.lo] Error 1

file_wrappers.c:
	893: (void)inflatePrime(strm, here->data.zlib.bits, ret>>   (8 - here->data.zlib.bits));

Should we require a newer version of zlib?

Perhaps - or, at least, require it to support reading gzipped files.

According to some research I did a while ago, the routines used for access to gzipped files:

	inflateInit2() - added in 0.4 (date unknown, but prior to 11 April 1995)
	inflate() - there since Day One?
	inflateEnd() - there since Day One?
	inflatePrime() - added in 1.2.2.4 (11 July 2005)
	inflateSetDictionary() - added in 1.2.2.1 (31 October 2004)
	inflateReset() - there since at least 0.9 (1 May 1995)

So we should require at least 1.2.2.4 then?  It's 6 years old after all.

Anders
