I have some doubts about that as well. I suppose that cfitsio authors 
have a good reason to include zlib in their source tarball. Apart from 
that, removing bundled zlib would violate the SlackBuilds.org 
recommendation "No custom patches unless absolutely necessary".

Could you test something for me, Ed?

In my cfitsio.SlackBuild ./configure has an option --with-bzip2. Could 
you remove --with-bzip2, recompile cfitsio (without applying any 
patches), reinstall, and then try to compile libindi once more? Will it 
report any linking errors?
