separate shared libraries or different Linux/Unix

> How do I get zlib available to python?

Edit Modules/Setup, and uncomment the zlib line. At your choice, also
uncomment the *shared* line (otherwise, zlib would become a builtin
module).

When you install shared libraries somewhere that also live in /usr/lib,
do use ldd to verify that it always picks up the libraries you want.
