This is an addition to point 1a) of my previous message.
The CPU ZLib test failed with an error message "Cannot load ZLib. /usr/lib/libz.so not found".

So what package provides libz.so?
$ dpkg -S libz.so
zlib1g: /usr/lib/libz.so.1
zlib1g: /usr/lib/libz.so.1.2.3.3

I had already installed the "zlib1g" package so something else had to be wrong. The symbolic link to "libz.so" was missing.
$ ls -l /usr/lib/libz.*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2007-12-22 21:24 /usr/lib/libz.so.1 -> libz.so.1.2.3.3
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 81240 2007-11-15 13:08 /usr/lib/libz.so.1.2.3.3

This command fixed it.
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libz.so.1 /usr/lib/libz.so

( In some rare cases I've seen that the lib links are not created until you install some additional packages such as dev packages).

And the CPU ZLib test completed just fine
