You need to build zlibmodule, now that you've installed zlib.  You should
be able to do this by re-running the setup.py script in your Python build
directory:

cd {...}/Python-2.1.1
python setup.py build
python setup.py install

If you haven't deleted your build directory, this should just build
zlibmodule.so, rather than all the dynamically loadable extensions.
