Depends on your servers distribution and the php package you have. Which
one do you use?
Normally, zlib is installed and enanbled by default. Maybe you have to
add it as a php module, or simply enable it. Take a look at phpinfo()
and search for zlib.

Btw. the error is caused by the EM. You should really install zlib and
enable it for proper use of TYPO3.

Yes.
After T3DD08 some action started to drive kickstarter forward. There's a
newsgroup for the kickstarter project:
typo3.projects.kickstarter

But kickstarter is not the root of your problem.
