Do you have a package like libgii-devel? Perhaps libgii0-devel? You need to
install those. I don't have libgii in my setup, but here is an equivalent example
of the two different rpm types. Baiscally you need the base package to 
run applications, but you need the -devel package to build them.

Summary     : The zlib compression and decompression library
Description :
The zlib compression library provides in-memory compression and
decompression functions, including integrity checks of the uncompressed
data.  This version of the library supports only one compression method
(deflation), but other algorithms may be added later, which will have
the same stream interface.  The zlib library is used by many different
system programs.
