Can't compile the module without libz.so and libgz.a, and I'm not finding anything with apt that looks like it's even close. Any hints?

You need to have the package 'zlib1g' installed. You may already have it installed, because at least in our setup there was a bug in that the symbolic link in /usr/lib was missing. So if it's installed, look in /usr/lib:

root@davinci/usr/lib: ls -l libz* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Aug 7 2000 libz.so.1 ->
libz.so.1.1.3 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 54512 Oct 30 1999 libz.so.1.1.3 root@davinci/usr/lib:

This is the problem; there is no link from libz.so. So:

root@davinci/usr/lib: ln -s libz.so.1 libz.so

and the problem goes away.
