I cant help you on the libz.so.1 problem, never heard of libz. However you
dont need to go to all that trouble to read 'info pages' a simple command
set;
cd /usr/info
zless ispell.info.gz
What you could do is try 'ldd /usr/bin/info' to see what libs are needed for
info, it could return an answer for your problem.
If it returns something like libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.3.12 and when you
type 'info' you still get, "libz.so.1 not found" try linking the 2 libs,
it might help.
