I am not sure what "correctly" means in this content.

I would suggest you to understand the mechanism by
which the Apache 2 module loader is locating DLLs/DSOs
that are to be loaded at program start.
(I suspect some environment variable requiring some
library path or something like that ... maybe not your
zlib installation is broken but your shell configuration.)

Did you try to load mod_deflate, which is shipped with
Apache 2? AFAIK this depends upon zlib as well.
If this would fail too, you might go to the Apache
mailing list and let them explain you how to load
mod_deflate, which might solve your mod_gzip problem
as well.

Regards, Michael
