Why not try Roman's pre-compiled version? The first time I tried to
build zsh it took me days of effort and research. Pages of notes
helped after that but still things tended to go wrong for one reason or
another. About as fun as going for a colonoscopy mostly. Roman's
production simply drops in and works. No more looking for -- nuts I
can't remember what that silly dependency is but Debian offers 15
versions of it and you hafta have the right one and no help choosing.
'cursing' or sumit, and you do end up cursing quite a bit.
