The error snippet looks like zlib's header has not been generated.  This should have happened during recursive configure, so I can only imagine that it has something to do with our build system migration to cmake. Try the cmake build.

Definitely.  If you have zconf.h.in but no zconf.h after you've run configure, then something has gone wrong.  Again, see if you have the same issue with the cmake build since it's probably just related to the two builds living simultaneously.

On Mac 10.6, you have to at least --enable-tcl-build and --enable-tk-build so it doesn't try to pick up the system Tcl/Tk.
