You do not have the libz compression library installed. PyLith requires it,
so we get

Executing: cc  -o /tmp/petsc-sm0ep7/config.setCompilers/conftest
-L/home/bjha/pylith/lib   /tmp/petsc-sm0ep7/config.setCompilers/conftest.o
-lz
sh:
Possible ERROR while running linker: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
 output: ret = 256

Really it should check and give a better error message. We will fix that.
