Compile zlib-1.2.8 with Intel-15.0.6

Step 1: Download the zlib from HDF5 (https://support.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/release/obtain5.html)
In your .bashrc, you can

source /usr/local/intel_2015/bin/compilervars.sh intel64
source /usr/local/intel_2015/impi/5.0.3.049/bin64/mpivars.sh intel64
source /usr/local/intel_2015/mkl/bin/mklvars.sh intel64
export CC=icc
export CFLAGS='-O3 -xHost -ip'

At your command prompt

$ tar -zxvf zlib-1.2.8.tar.gz
$ cd zlib-1.2.8
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/zlib-1.2.7
$ make
$ make check
$ make install
