Can you check your guide against the material in Appendix C2 of the Gretl
User's Guide, please? I don't think zlibc is a gretl dependency. Also, the
simple suggestion in the manual seems a good one:
apt-get build-dep gretl

I did a step-by-step installation of the packages that ./configure reported
as necessary. In the search for zlib (with synaptic) the only package that I
saw to fit was that one. Since then ./configure stopped complaining, I
identified it has the required one. I will double check what are the zlib
packages in my system.
I also think that ./configure reported GMP as required. How can we confirm
this?
Now, in that README.packages file I will add the reference to Appendix C2.
The purpose of the README.packages file, is kind of a shortcut from
documentation. A user can see in gretl webpages how to get CVS tree, and
then can just copy the commands to get the packages.
Furthermore, I plan to have the commands for OpenSuSe and Fedora/RedHat or
any other Linux. This is because sometimes the packages do not have the same
names (and packages managers, like "zypper" and "yum").

Since you actually made me read Appendix C2 (I was not aware that
documentation had improved so much since I read it long time ago ;)), here i
a typo that I detected:
(...)
apt-get build-dep gretl
will download and install all the necessary packages for building the
version of gretl that is currently present in your APT sources. Techincally,
