I've just this moment faced this problem. The Linux executable
available from www.fossil-scm.org does not run on Bluehost and
reports an error unable to find libz.so.1
As John Found says, it is a problem related to the 64 bit
environment and missing 32 bit libraries.
My solution was to work at the command line shell on my Bluehost
server to download the source using wget and then to use the
configure command:
./configure --with-openssl=none
because I do not use ssl.
This was followed by:
make
and then a copy of the fossil executable into a local bin directory
that is no my bash path.
I also had to run fossil rebuild on the repositories to have the
top line menu behave.
