/usr/X11/bin seems like a weird place for libz.so to live.
Is this where Suse Linux installs it?

If you put it in a "normal" place then configure should find it...
from configure.in:

    dnl Check for libraries for zip library.
    AC_CHECK_LIBRARY(z,deflate,ZIP_LIBRARIES)
    AC_SUBST(ZIP_LIBRARIES)

Try moving it to /usr/local/lib and see if that helps.
