[cochiselinux] Compiling problem

I've put Suse 8.1 on a Dell laptop at work. I'm trying to compile a recent
version of OpenSsh. When I ran "./configure --with-tcp-wrappers", I got an
error message:
error: ***zlib missing - please install first or check config.log***
The config.log showed this error message:
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-suse-linux/3.2/../../../../i486-suse-linux/bin/ld:
cannot find -lz
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Querying the packages on the system, I saw that zlib-1.1.4-41 was installed.
But I replaced it with a Suse 8.1 update from www.gzip.org/zlib and now I
have zlib-1.1.4-112. This did not help. Same error message.
I can't find this exact error message on Google, though there are similar
messages where ld cannot find -l<something>. Interpolating from what I read
in the newsgroup threads, "cannot find -lz" means that ld is looking for
something like zlib.a or zlib.so, but these don't seem to be on the system.
Sure enough, when I run "find", it cannot find them.
Any thoughts from anyone on how to solve this problem?
