Paul,
Try running
 ldd /usr/local/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/zlib.so
I'll wager that libz.so is not found. Either rebuild Python using the -R
flag to hard-code the location of various low-level libraries in Python's
.so files or set LD_LIBRARY_PATH at runtime so the dynamic linker can find
them.
One other thing (well, two). python-dev at python.org is not the correct place
for these sorts of questions. Try python-list at python.org instead. Also,
note that many of us who might read this are at PyCon (http://us.pycon.org/)
which starts this morning and continues through the middle of next week.
Response rates from this list will be reduced.
