I want to install a program from a tar.gz file and when I write ./configure I obtained this error:

 checking whether zlib support suffices... configure: error: zlib library and headers are required

I tried to install a new version of zlib but that said zlib is the most recent version.

I have Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) 32 bits.

Could someone help me?

This should solve your problem.

$ sudo apt install zlib1g zlib1g-dev

sudo apt install libjpeg-dev zlib1g zlib1g-dev

You will likely require jpeg as well as zlib library and header
