X11, in its entirety.

If the latest zlib comes with Solaris, and the X11 installed on your
machine is the one that came with Solaris, then you should complain to Sun
that they should configure their X11 *NOT* to install its own zlib, and,
if that zlib is in /usr/lib, try using

    --with-zlib=/usr

If you installed zlib yourself, and it's in, for example, /usr/local/lib,
try using

    --with-zlib=/usr/local

as per my previous message.

If you installed X11 yourself (rather than using Sun's X11), you should
reconfigure it to use the zlib on the system.
