zlib.h not found on SUSE under any include folder but libz.so.1 exist

I am trying to build git on SLES 11.3 VM using make, but make fails with error "cache.h:39:18: warning: zlib.h: No such file or directory".

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating config.mak.autogen
config.status: executing config.mak.autogen commands
linuxcli: bimaljha/git/git-master> make
    * new build flags
    CC credential-store.o

cache.h:41: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'z_stream'
make: *** [credential-store.o] Error 1

I tried to install the zlib as root, but it is already at latest level.

linuxcli: /root> zypper install zlib
Loading repository data...

'zlib' is already installed.
No update candidate for 'zlib-1.2.7-0.10.128.x86_64'. The highest available version is already installed.

Nothing to do.

I checked zlib.h under /usr/include and /usr/local/include but there is no zlib.h file:

linuxcli: /usr/include> ls zlib*
ls: cannot access zlib*: No such file or directory
linuxcli: /usr/include> cd ../local/include
linuxcli: usr/local/include> ls zlib*
ls: cannot access zlib*: No such file or directory
linuxcli: usr/local/include>

How to get or where to find it? Only zypper command works on my system. Thanks.
