Can"t find libz, but it"s there

I'm sure this is a subtler problem than it appears to be.

I can't make DBD::Mysql 2.9004 because the link step returns:
cannot find -lz

I can link without -lz, but then the tests fail because compress isn't
resolved.

And yet right there in /lib is:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jul 27 09:35 libz.so.1 -> libz.so.1.1.4
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 65927 Sep 23 2003 libz.so.1.1.4

And...
# nm libz.so.1 | grep compress
00001bf0 T compress
00001b30 T compress2
00006b90 t compress_block
00003870 T uncompress

My installation is SuSE 9.0 with current updates.

Best regards,
Mojo
