Hello,
I'm would like to know how to integrate Zend libraries to Silverstripe? I would appreciate if somebody has a proper example.
Best regards.

Normally you can just put the libraries in a folder (our standard is to use thirdparty) and use a require() call. Several modules (including the core framework) include thirdparty (and specifically Zend) classes like this
A couple examples:
SS Config - https://github.com/silverstripe/sapphire/blob/master/core/manifest/ConfigManifest.php#L179
Twitter module - http://svn.rentbox.co.nz/public/twitter/trunk/
Thanks!
btw. where is "the right place" to globally include the Zend Framework into SilverStripe? Embedding just in a controller file?
For the frontend, the Page_Controller init() function is one of those places...
You should include it when you need it. If you only need it for 1 small function, include it in that function, otherwise you can include it in your _config.php file (so it's available early on) the issue with init() is that it is only called as part of the controller request process for *that* controller.
