Because that's not the zlib you get by default when linking with X11.
Some versions of X11 have their own version of zlib (used, I think, to
uncompress compressed font files). That version lacks a routine that
Ethereal uses.
You would somehow have to arrange to either
1) make that library go away (but just removing it might cause
problems with X11;
2) arrange to have the linking process for Ethereal search in the
directory containing the new zlib before searching in the directory
containing X11 libraries.
If the latest zlib is a system library (in /usr/lib), then the best way to
do this might be to do 1) by somehow arranging to install an X11 properly
configured for your system (i.e., configured to use the system's zlib, not
its own private zlib, and not to build or install its own private zlib).
If X11 is also part of the OS, complain to the OS vendor. If you built it
and installed it from source, the configuration file for imake might have
to be tweaked - ask whoever supplies the X11 source for help on that.
If the latest zlib is one you installed - in, for example, /usr/local/lib
- then that might Just Work if Ethereal found other libraries it needs in
/usr/local/lib, but it might require you to configure with
--with-zlib=/usr/local
otherwise.

I'm not sure what the connection is between this and zlib. (Translation:
if you're sending a new message to a mailing list, it's best not to do it
by replying to an unrelated message.)
