zlib is not a command, it is a library which programs may use. If you
want to see it then you can list it like this.
ls -lL /usr/lib/libz.so.1
Your information that it is installed means it is probably installed
fine. From what you say your program wants configuration. What
program are you talking about? Remember that we can't read minds and
neither are we all seeing so if you don't say we won't know.
Lots of programs use libz. Look at ssh for one example.
ldd /usr/bin/ssh
libutil.so.1 => /lib/libutil.so.1 (0x4001d000)
--> libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x40020000)
libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x40030000)
libcrypto.so.0.9.6 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6 (0x40044000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40104000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40221000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
