The very same message?

You should of course remove your custom zlib install, install zlib-dev
(which you already did), remove your subversion-1.5-beta1 source tree
and start from scratch, all over again.

Otherwise your subversion build will keep trying to link to your
custom (and broken) zlib library.

I would try compiling against the zlib library provided by the
distribution before compiling it myself. You're using Debian,
not Gentoo, right?
