Description:
Configuring MySQL cluster --with-zlib-dir=/usr will raise an error:

checking for zlib compression library... configure: error: headers or binaries were not found in /usr/{include,lib}

How to repeat:
./configure --with-zlib-dir=/usr

Thank you for the report.

Verified as described. Problem is only repeatable with mysql-5.1-telco-7.0 tree and not with mysql-5.1

Documented bugfix in the NDB-6.3.28 and 7.0.9 changelogs as follows:

        configure failed to honor the --with-zlib-dir option when trying
        to build MySQL Cluster from source.

Closed.
