@Jacqualin jasmin it is part of base Centos repo. Should be in one of the RHEL channels as well, don't have a RHEL machine handy to give you exact answer.

In your CentOS when you will run the following command then you should see that from CentOS "base" repo you can get this zlib RPM package.

# cat /etc/redhat-release

- As this package is by default available with the CentOS "base" repo. so you should be able to directly install it as @Artem Ervits mentioned earlier (if you have internet connectivity available on the host).

yum install zlib-devel

- Please look at the following file to see if the base repo is present there or not "/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.rep"

.

- If you want to download it from some external repos then you might want to look at the following links. However the CentOs shipped "base" repos are more trusted.
