configure: error: cannot find compresion library functions. Make sure libz is installed

prob somethig stupid i'm missing
if possible just point me in the right direction

[user387]

error says:


Make sure libz is installed


guess what?

[Bobo_Da_necro]

ummmmmmmm prob is i dont know what libz is tied to

[Dedpoet]

Libz is l33t haX0r speak for libs, which is short for libraries. You need to install libraries.

Seriously though:

libz is NOT any form of other speak..

it's just the z library!

included with -lz

known as zlib or libz.

LOL. I was kidding, user387. If you look at the link I posted, you'll notice that it's to an rpmfind search that shows 116 hits for zlib. He got the rpm he needed and fixed his problem.
