I am building using zlib.h which I have a local copy to v1.2.5, but in /usr/include/zlib.h there is v1.2.1.2.
If I omit adding -I/my/path/to/zlib to my make I get error from using old version which doesn't have Z_FIXED:
g++ -g -Werror -Wredundant-decls -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -c -o ARCH.linux_26_i86/debug/sysParam.o sysParam.cpp
sysParam.cpp: In member function `std::string CSysParamAccess::getCompressionStrategyName() const':
sysParam.cpp:1816: error: `Z_FIXED' was not declared in this scope
sysParam.cpp: In member function `bool CSysParamAccess::setCompressionStrategy(const std::string&, paramSource)':
sysParam.cpp:1849: error: `Z_FIXED' was not declared in this scope
Alternatively, if I add the include path to the zlib z1.2.5 I am using, I get double defines, it seems as if the zlib.h is included twice with two different sets of -D values, but I don't see how that is happening:
g++ -g -Werror -Wredundant-decls -I../../src/zlib-1.2.5 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -c -o ARCH.linux_26_i86/debug/sysParam.o sysParam.cpp

Here some of the relavent lines from zlib.h referred to above:
// This would be line 1558 of zlib.h
/* provide 64-bit offset functions if _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE defined, and/or
 * change the regular functions to 64 bits if _FILE_OFFSET_BITS is 64 (if
 * both are true, the application gets the *64 functions, and the regular
 * functions are changed to 64 bits) -- in case these are set on systems
 * without large file support, _LFS64_LARGEFILE must also be true

I'm not sure how to track this down further.  I tried moving the include of zlib.h to the top and bottom of the includes list of the cpp file, but it made no difference.
An excerpt of passing -E to g++ shows in part:
extern int inflateInit2_ (z_streamp strm, int windowBits, const char *version, int stream_size);
extern int inflateBackInit_ (z_streamp strm, int windowBits, unsigned char *window, const char *version, int stream_size);
# 1566 "../../src/zlib-1.2.5/zlib.h"
   extern gzFile gzopen64 (const char *, const char *);
   extern off64_t gzseek64 (gzFile, off64_t, int);
   extern off64_t gztell64 (gzFile);
   extern off64_t gzoffset64 (gzFile);
   extern uLong adler32_combine64 (uLong, uLong, off64_t);
   extern uLong crc32_combine64 (uLong, uLong, off64_t);

     extern gzFile gzopen64 (const char *, const char *);
     extern long long gzseek64 (gzFile, long long, int);

     extern uLong crc32_combine64 (uLong, uLong, long long);
# 1600 "../../src/zlib-1.2.5/zlib.h"
    struct internal_state {int dummy;};
Not sure why lines 1566 and 1582 are coming out together in the CPP output, but hence the warning about duplicate declarations.
