That error means mpl could not find libz, which probably means you
don't have libpng installed either. mpl has a fair number of
dependencies. See
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/installing.html#build-requirementsOn debian systems, there is a brilliant command
apt-get build-dep python-matplotlib
which will install everything you need to build mpl from source.
SUSE is RPM based: is there anything equivalent in rpm yum land?
