I don't use this non-windows shenanigans if I don't have to, but I
believe that the directory you are looking for is the one above.

If I look in the '/usr/lib/python-2.5/lib-dynload' directory on
stackless.com, the only Linux box I have access to, I see:

zlib.so
zlib_d.so

Recompile stackless editing the Python config so it compiles the
module support you want.

Cheers,
Richard.
