I noticed that on my machine too after having installed the June(?)
SNAP.  I then went and feteched the sources myself.  Then, after having
installed the 10-14 SNAP, I noticed that libz had come with it.. odd.

The window manager you use doesn't affect which apps you can run, since
Mosaic also requires motif.. but the kind folks who purchased motif, 
link the binaries statically with the motif libs, so that everyone doesn't
have to buy motif.  :)
