It looks like that you still need to install some more packages before
you can start on GnuPG proper.

On my system (RedHat Enterprise Server), zlib.h is in /usr/include, and
has come from the "zlib-devel" package.  Ubuntu might put it in a
differently-named package, but I doubt it would be too tricky to find.

My system also a few other files called "zlib.h", one is from the
"syslinux" package, and the other is in "kernel-devel".
