also if i start python and import zlib i get no error, so zlib is installed

This is sort of fixed with latest testing version 0.9.4 (see list of changes 
here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=939812&postcount=1777). You will not 
be able to use zlib in the script (only used for computing crc values for 
offline game descriptions), this fix will just not crash RCB when loading zlib 
fails.
