IOW the way python is built in the bbot, is now using your system's zlib support...
Arggg... I am the typo master...
s/now/not.
So as Tres said maybe Ubuntu ships with a Python with zlib support, but doesn't provide zlib headers.
Ok, so the python you build from the trunk checkout doesn't have zlib support.
Yup.
I couldn't find an apt-get'able one, it looks like you have to build from source, but the lack of zlib support should be picked up before the unit tests fail.
Yes that's what I've fixed, so it should not fail anymore. I'll digg in zlib@ubuntu support in any case.
