I am trying to compile software on Blue Gene Q using IBM XL compilers and I got this error message:
"iostreams/zlib.cpp", line 19.10: 1540-0836 (S) The #include file "zlib.h" is not found.
make[3]: *** [zlib.o] Error 1
I have installed a new version of zlib and updated LD_LIBRARY_PATH with $HOME/zlib/include
Am I missing something?

I also had the same problem. Then I installed the zlib, still the problem remained the same. Then I added the following lines in my .bashrc and it worked. You should replace the path with your zlib installation path. (I didn't have root privileges).
export PATH =$PATH:$HOME/Softwares/library/Zlib/zlib-1.2.11/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$HOME/Softwares/library/Zlib/zlib-1.2.11/lib/
export LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH:$HOME/Softwares/library/Zlib/zlib-1.2.11/lib/
export C_INCLUDE_PATH=$HOME/Softwares/library/Zlib/zlib-1.2.11/include/
export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=$HOME/Softwares/library/Zlib/zlib-1.2.11/include/
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/Softwares/library/Zlib/zlib-1.2.11/lib/pkgconfig
In openSUSE 19.2 installing the patterns-hpc-development_node package fixed this issue for me.
Maybe you can download zlib.h from https://dev.w3.org/Amaya/libpng/zlib/zlib.h, and put it in the directory to solve the problem.
You are missing zlib.h header file, on Linux install it via:
sudo apt-get install libz-dev
As a matter of fact, the module presents as zlib1g-dev in the apt repo, so this is the up-to-date call (Feb 2019):
sudo apt install zlib1g-dev
On Fedora: sudo dnf install zlib-devel (in older versions: sudo dnf install libz-devel).
This will provide the development support files for a library implementing the deflate compression method found in gzip and PKZIP.
If you've already zlib library, make sure you're compiling your code sources with -lz. See: How to fix undefined references to inflate/deflate functions?.
