Summary: Zlib 1.2.5 error under compile cURL 7.23.1

Initial Comment:
I am try different compile command and all time have this strange issue. So i simplify configure command (see below).
System: Linux version 2.6.3 (gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-110))
Configure command: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/curl-7.23.1 --without-ssl --with-zlib=/usr/local/zlib-1.2.5
... make ... make install
So what is problem?
/usr/local/curl-7.23.1/bin/curl --version
curl 7.23.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.23.1 zlib/1.2.3
Protocols: dict file ftp gopher http imap ldap ldaps pop3 rtsp smtp telnet tftp
Features: Largefile libz
Where cURL get zlib version 1.2.3???
I am SURE my /usr/ folder dont content any zlib.* files (like headers libs) except /usr/local/zlib-1.2.5
/usr/local/curl-7.23.1/bin/curl-config --libs
-L/usr/local/curl-7.23.1/lib -lcurl -L/usr/local/zlib-1.2.5/lib
/usr/local/curl-7.23.1/bin/curl-config --static-libs
/usr/local/curl-7.23.1/lib/libcurl.a -L/usr/local/zlib-1.2.5/lib -lldap -lz

So can someone comment this problem with version Zlib???

"checking run-time libs availability... failed"

Have you ensured that your zlib is available at run-time? You haven't given
any indication that you've set LD_LIBRARY_PATH or edited /etc/ld.so.conf

Message:
Some more info: If i return old libz.a to /usr/bin then curl --version show
me old libz.a version from this point i can say that configure dont correct
get path for shared lib of Zlib (/usr/local/zlib-1.2.5) from option
--with=zlib

Message:
Sorry. Yes, I am not restrained a bit.
Which additional info you need? Tell me i try give it to you.
I dunno what additional info i must post for describe problem.
At this point i can just say if /usr/lib dont contain libz.* files
configure with option --with-zlib(=/usr/local/zlib-1.2.5) FAILED. So
something wrong in configure for getting right path
(/usr/local/zlib-1.2.5/lib /usr/local/zlib-1.2.5/include) from option.

First, drop that crappy attitude. We're volunteers here and we have no
obligation what so ever to help anyone. We do it on our own spare times.

Then if you want to actually report a bug, then please be a lot more
verbose and describe exactly what happens when it fails and possibly
include the associated excerpt from config.log showing the relevant test.

Message:
So ONLY if i put libz,* (v 1.2.5) at /usr/lib cURL can configure and
compile as right way.
And as result of all: configure option --with-zlib (=/usr/local/zlib-1.2.5)
BROKEN!!!
FIX IT because this configure option dont get libs and includes by right
path.

Message:
I had found libz.* (v 1.2.3) at /usr/lib and remove it. Try recompile cUrl
by
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/curl-7.23.1 --without-ssl
--with-zlib=/usr/local/zlib-1.2.5
and had error like:
checking run-time libs availability... failed
configure: error: one or more libs available at link-time are not available
run-time. Libs used at link-time: -lz
so if i use
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/curl-7.23.1 --without-ssl
all fine/ SO cURL have problems with right Zlib support configuration!

Message:
All point to cURL use Zlib library of version 1.2.5
But ./curl --version show us Zlib version 1.2.3
SO WHICH REALLY cURL use Zlib vesrion ??? Because i am definitely known i
dont have zlib ver. 1.2.3. So it look like cURL 7,23,1 have problem at
compiling. Additionally other my compiled programs with support my zlib at
/usr/local/zlib-1.2.5 had show me right zlib version.

Message:
Please clarify exactly what the bug is you're reporting.

If you just need some assistance to build libcurl, then use the
curl-library mailing list. zlib is called libz.so or libz.a.
