Answer 1

Check PYTHONPATH variable. It is possible that this variable is set incorrectly when django start. From other hands django1.5 use incorect path for searching library. The second reson may be zlib was installed in non-default path

Answer 2

This is what I did (I only needed zlib).

Run this first: pythonbrew uninstall x.x.x

Then run this: sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev libssl-dev python-dev (add packages here)

Now this: pythonbrew install x.x.x

Follow the tail using this command in another terminal window/tab (they provide a command to follow the tail).

If you see no errors in the tail, you should have zlib (and other packages) successfully working with pythonbrew.

You should now be able to create a venv.
