A program like tar will *never* look for zlib.so. It will look for
what the dynamic linker says to look for in its cache. In this case:
r...@rmlinux: /home/randy > ldconfig -v |grep libz
libz.so.1 -> libz.so.1.2.3
.so files and .a files do not belong in /lib. They are only used at
compile time. And one shouldn't be compiling programs if /usr is
not mounted.
The .so file belongs in /usr/lib.
