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).

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.
