What's the output of `cat /var/db/pkg/sys-libs/zlib*/CONTENTS | grep -o "/usr/lib.* "`?

local issue...
...not a bug, then.
(In reply to comment #5) > local issue... It's not a local issue. It's a LiveCD 2008.0 related bug: some libraries are not installed but portage sees them as they are. zlib is one of them.
