I had this problem and it was solved by installing libz-dev:

sudo apt-get install libz-dev

This is related to the last error you've got (configure: error: *** zlib.h missing - please install first or check config.log ***). I don't know why you've got warnings, but they may be fixed by reinstalling (or installing) libz-dev.

I solved this problem by installing zlib development files:

# Debian-based
sudo apt install libz-dev

# Fedora-based
sudo dnf install zlib-devel

This is related to the last error you've got:

configure: error: *** zlib.h missing - please install first or check config.log ***

The warnings you've got would get solved by this also. However, if you have it installed, maybe try reinstalling or updating it.

• Bonus: One way to find required development shared libraries on your system is to ask your package manager what package provides a specific file. For example, dnf provides on Fedora could help you in these situations:

  $ sudo dnf provides /usr/include/zlib.h
  ...
  
  zlib-devel-1.2.11-30.fc35.x86_64 : Header files and libraries for Zlib development
  Repo        : @System
  Matched from:
  Filename    : /usr/include/zlib.h
  
  ...
