Isn't there an RPM file available that makes it relatively simple to
install?

===============================================================================
| RHEL WS 4 (Nahant Update 6)       2.6.9-67.0.7.ELsmp (8x2793MHz 
| PowerEdge 2850)
| 
===============================================================================
| address@hidden ~]$ rpm -qa |grep zlib
| zlib-devel-1.2.1.2-1.2
| zlib-1.2.1.2-1.2

I'd guess it is too old, and doesn't include some fucntions required
by Octave.
