Do you really need 1.2.2 or just the latest security patches ... if you
must really have 1.2.2 or greater, you should probably download the
latest SRPM from the Fedora Rawhide project (it, or an RPM like it, will
be in newer versions of RHEL and FC).

http://mirror.linux.duke.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/SRPMS/zlib-1.2.2.2-3.src.rpm

Then use it to make zlib and zlib-devel on your platform.  I just
verified that it builds on CentOS-3.4 and 4.0 with the command:

rpmbuild --rebuild zlib-1.2.2.2-3.src.rpm

(must have gcc, make, rpm-build as a minimum installed on the
machine ... maybe some other packages)

I can provide those files for daonload if you can't get them to
build ... are you on CentOS-3.x or CentOS-4.x.
