And shouldn't configure be checking for zlib? I'm almost sure it checks somewhere, but I think it doesn't abort the configure if it fails. > Note that building SWORD using ./configure with no options supplied is > probably not what you really want to do; please let the included usrinst.sh > script do the work of choosing good defaults for you.

He's been using usrinst.sh I don't think this explains why sword allows to configure successfully in the case of missing zlib.
