    few comments:

    1) wasn't the library called 'libz' instead of 'zlib'? at least
       so it is called on my system:

            # rpm -q -l zlib
             /usr/lib/libz.so.1

    2) ldd is just shell wrapper, so for system wide search it is more
       efficent to call ld-linux directly (at least for linux systems)
       for example

            # ldd /sbin/askrunlevel | grep libz
                    libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x400fa000)

            # /lib/ld-linux.so.2 --list /sbin/askrunlevel | grep libz
                    libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x400e4000)

    3) you are forgetting that library can call in turn call other
       libraries. so searching binary directories is not enough. you have
       to, at least, search library directories as well. for example:

            # /lib/ld-linux.so.2 --list /usr/lib/kcalc.so | grep libz
                    libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x40be3000)
