undefined reference to 'gz…'

edit

I am trying to install pythia package coming with POWHEG-BOX on Fedora 27.

When running make main-PYTHIA-lhef it writes:

pwhg_io_interface.f:214: undefined reference to `gzputc'

and so on. It seems that there is some problem with zlib.

I have already installed gzlib by running commands

sudo dnf install zlib-devel 
sudo dnf install zlib

Could you please tell me what king of reason can cause this problem?
