Perhaps the OP should mention what source and what distro was used and
post the original Error message.

The OP just mentioned that an "Ubuntu page" was found, but the mailer
claims to be x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.

It seems to be that zlib headers are not needed or they are needed, but
already a dependency of a dependency that is mentioned.


Upstream:

https://github.com/falkTX/dssi-vst/blob/master/README
"Build etc
---------
To build dssi-vst, you will need:
* The DSSI header.
* Wine 0.9.5 or newer and its development tools -- http://www.winehq.com/
* Steve Harris's liblo "Lite OSC" library -- http://liblo.sf.net/ --
version 0.9 or newer.
* OPTIONALLY the VST SDK headers. The URL for downloading these seems
to change every week, but at the time of writing it is:
http://www.steinberg.de/331+M54a708de802.html"




Ubuntu:

32-bit, seemingly not intended for 64-bit

$ wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/dssi-vst_0.9.2-1ubuntu6.debian.tar.xz
$ tar xJf dssi-vst_0.9.2-1ubuntu6.debian.tar.xz
$ grep Build debian/control 
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7.0.50~), quilt (>= 0.46-7~), dssi-dev, wine1.4-dev | wine-dev, liblo-dev, libasound2-dev, libjack-dev, pkg-config




Arch User Repository:

32-bit and 64-bit

Ok, for Arch zlib is from core, so it must not be mentioned, but at
least lib32-zlib isn't from core, so it should be mentioned, if it would
be needed.

$ wget https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/dssi-vst-git.tar.gz
$ tar xzf dssi-vst-git.tar.gz
$ grep depends dssi-vst-git/PKGBUILD 
depends=("wine" "liblo" "jack")
  depends+=("lib32-jack")
makedepends=("git")



Debian removed it, but the bug seems to be fixed:
