The

./.libs/liboctinterp.so: undefined reference to `gzgetc_'

error message indicates that 'ld' doesn't have 'libz' specified, i.e. add 
somehow (e.g. through LDFALS or the LIBS) '-lz' to 'configure' command line.

The symbol is defined in, for example. 'libz.so': (output from nm 
~/AFSWD/install/zlib-1.2.7/lib/libz.so | less ) :

"

    164 00010020 T gzgetc
    165 000100b0 T gzgetc_
".
