Here's what I hope is relevant:

gcc --version
gcc (SUSE Linux) 4.5.1 20101208 [gcc-4_5-branch revision 167585]
Copyright (C) 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Here's my config call:

./configure --with-python --with-openssl --with-ldap --with-ossp-uuid
--with-libxml --with-libxslt --enable-debug --prefix=/opt/PostgreSQL/9.1

The tail of config.log follows. As I confessed, libreadline had to be
simlinked into /usr/lib64, then I hit libz (as this log shows) and
started to doubt myself (even more).

configure:8508: error: zlib library not found
If you have zlib already installed, see config.log for details on the
failure. It is possible the compiler isn't looking in the proper directory.
Use --without-zlib to disable zlib support.
