I thought if you found another way.

It is just ignored by configure itself, but passed to
ext/zlib/extconf.rb via dir_config("zlib") call.
Or, you can pass it as CONFIGURE_ARGS environment variable.

You don't need to make distclean.  Just remove
ext/zlib/Makefile, and run make as:

  env CONFIGURE_ARGS=--with-zlib-dir=/opt/iexpress/zlib/lib make

and previosly installed files will be overwritten.

The file .installed.list should contains the list of installed
files.

  sudo xargs rm -f < .installed.list

or, if you used DESTDIR to install:

  sed "s|^|$DESTDIR|" .installed.list | sudo xargs rm -f
