The zlib unit simply links to the zlib library (libz.so libz.dll). It seems that you are missing that one. IOW it is different from the borland one that does have a zlib implementation The paszlib package provides an compatible (though older) zlib implementation in pascal. Ok, but shouldn't it work with both? Are there any plans to update paszlib to a more recent version of zlib?

Yes, and it works (I'm using both with a $DEFINE) but the zlib needs
zlib1.dll which is AFAIK the regular zlib.dll renamed (reason
unknown).
{$ifdef netware} {zlib.nlm comes with netware6}
libz='zlib';
{$else}
{$ifdef windows}
libz='zlib1';
{$else windows}
libz='z';
{$endif windows}
{$endif}
paszlib is 1.1.2 meanwhile zlib is 1.1.3 and AFAIK the difference is
related to a NULL pointer in the 'C' version which may be present or
not in the Pascal version, but as it has not been updated I think that
the paszlib is not affected by the bug.
