Several random suggestions:

Apparently your module is linked against the libz.so (compression) library
and the dynamic loader can't find it at run time.

Do you have libz.so installed? It should be in /usr/lib or
/usr/local/lib.

It seems a little odd that you are running /usr/i486-linux/bin/ld as the
loader.

Run ldd <myextension_module.so> and see what libraries it depends on.

You may also need to run ldconfig

Good luck.
