This is what things look like on one of my systems:

[root at centos57 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.7 (Final)
[root at centos57 ~]# ls -l /usr/lib64/libz.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Jan 31 02:47 /usr/lib64/libz.so.1 -> 
../../lib64/libz.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Jan 31 02:47 /usr/lib64/libz.so.1.2.3 -> 
../../lib64/libz.so.1.2.3
[root at centos57 ~]# ls -l /lib64/libz.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    13 Jan 31 02:47 /lib64/libz.so.1 -> libz.so.1.2.3
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 83280 May 11  2011 /lib64/libz.so.1.2.3

If the symlink is missing you could try to manually recreate it.

Regards,
