Yes, this is just because Pythia8 also compiles all its example drivers
(mainXX) and the makefile typically tries to skip certain ones of them
according to the availability of their dependences, but it's not perfect
and depending on your environment some of these compilations might fail.
However, note that these compilations happen after Pythia itself (i.e. the
library libpythia8.a) is successfully compiled and functional. So this
error is irrelevant and this is why you don't see any issue being reported
on MG5aMC end.
If you are keen on having these examples compiling successfully, then you
can try to install zlib with 'install zlib' with MG5aMC, before trying to
install pythia8 again with "install pythia8".
