<sigh> I thought that, but as explicity described in the bug-reporting FAQ:

We insist that you first post a description of the problem in
povray.general, so that others may investigate it on their own
systems. This will aid in discovering whether it is
platform-dependent, and hopefully will also uncover some work-arounds
and a possible bugfix in the subsequent discussion from those who are
familiar with the POV-Ray source code.

From looking around a bit, the zlib libraries did *NOT* need be built on my
FC2 machine, but were required in the RH9 machine - therefore, the
.../libraries/zlib path was included during the build, which was causing the
problem.
This raises another question - why not leave the image library dependencies
external, and just not include them with the release?

I renamed config.h in the /unix directory, changed all the #includes, and
the build worked. However, I wouldn't consider it a proper solution.
