This is a known bug; it has been mentioned here before (when it bit me ;-)

It wants to link against zlib, and you don't have the developer files (i.e.
zlib-devel-blahblah.rpm) installed.

Either upgrade to 0.9.10 (which wont link against zlib unless you tell
./configure to) or install zlib.

Hope I got that right.
