[Kde-extra-gear] How do I avoid xfree86's old zlib when configuring kile

[Torquil Sørensen]

This problem is related to the following (resolved) bugreport:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67030

The kile configure script stops when it detects the old zlib
that has been installed together with xfree86. I am NOT ROOT, so I
am unable to remove that zlib.

I have installed my own zlib in $HOME/usr, but I don't know how I can
tell configure that this is the zlib I want to use...

I have the following environment variables set:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/usr/lib
LD_RUN_PATH=$HOME/usr/lib
LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/usr/lib

Any suggestions?

----------------

Here is some output from the configure script:

checking for vsnprintf... yes
checking for snprintf... yes
checking for X... libraries /local/X11R6/lib, headers /local/X11R6/include
checking for IceConnectionNumber in -lICE... yes
checking for libXext... yes
checking for pthread_create in -lpthread... yes
checking for extra includes... no
checking for extra libs... no
checking for libz... configure: error: not found.
          Possibly configure picks up an outdated version
          installed by XFree86. Remove it from your system.

          Check your installation and look into config.log
