#include is correct, but the linker option is "-lz". Also, if you're using Xcode, just add /usr/lib/libz.dylib to your project and it will do the rest. More information about using it can be found at http://www.zlib.net. There is nothing special about using zlib on OS X as opposed to the other platforms on which it runs.

Just #include <zlib.h> and add "-l zlib" to the linker flags and you
should be good to go.
If you want to find files that Spotlight won't normally show you, use
locate from the terminal.
$ locate zlib
