I downloaded pdfedit pdfedit-0.4.5.tar.bz2 and try to build it by make.
after ./configure. I was informed
...............
checking for size_t... yes
checking whether struct tm is in sys/time.h or time.h... time.h
checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E
checking if zlib is wanted... configure: error: libz not found
................
. I check the zlib with rpm -qa zlib, the system inform that 
pdfedit-0.4.5.tar.bz2 exists.
who tell me why, and how to do?
