any help would be awesome thanks

Looks like you might be missing zlib. Are you using Cygwin?
[EDIT] That was a silly question.

He's running on Ubuntu. It should be pretty easy to get zlib; the standard package list should have it in there somewhere. If it doesn't, it should be fairly easy to get it from the web; just google for "zlib" and it'll be in the first few entries.

you guys rock that fixed the problem thanks a bunch
