From the zlib/libpng license I don't think you have to stick to the same license if you just link to the libraries. If you include any of the ljarchive source code (eg. modified header files, bwhehehe) then you have to follow the license conditions for them.
However you should think carefully before using a different license. If the two packages might in future be distributed together (eg. as part of a greater ljarchive package) but require different licenses, then packaging and distribution can become more complicated and may mean your package is left out. I guess it depends how much you care about commercial use?
