make test   does this after some other stuff:

hello world
zlib version 1.2.3 = 0x1230, compile flags = 0x55
uncompress(): hello, hello!
gzread(): hello, hello!
gzgets() after gzseek:  hello!
inflate(): hello, hello!
large_inflate(): OK
after inflateSync(): hello, hello!
inflate with dictionary: hello, hello!
                *** zlib test OK ***

I wonder if I have a path problem ?   I can find libz.a in /usr/local/lib
and /usr/src/zlib-1.2.3  but these are the versions I just built and
installed.  The old version is in /usr/lib

PATH is /usr/sbin  /sbin  /bin  /usr/bin  /usr/local/bin  /usr/X11R6/bin

I don't know if it relies on PATH to find libraries.
