Failing check for library containing zlibVersion during install

[M8Qi26w2]

Attempting to install on OS X El Capitan (10.11.5) via curl -fsSL https://goo.gl/getgrpc | bash -.
Getting the errors:
checking zlib version... ok (1.2.0.4 or later)
checking for library containing zlibVersion... no
configure: error: in/private/tmp/google-protobuf-20160630-91559-qosh8/protobuf-3.0.0-beta-3.1': configure: error: --with-zlib was given, but no working zlib library was found`

I have zlib installed through homebrew, but I suspect that google-protobuf is expecting devel of zlib and fails.

FWIW, I'm having this same issue with libpng on centos6, using zlib 1.2.8

Hi, @brucellino , I got the same problem with zlib v1.2.11 when compiling libpng. I set with

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/libpng --with-zlib-prefix=/usr/local/zlib

/usr/local/zlib is the path I installed zlib. Guess you've done with the problem on CentOS 6?
