Nominally this means that you do not have libz which is the zlib
decompression library. You're so likely to have this, that you're
probably either missing some bits needed to compile against it (headers)
or its got a stupid name or location. Examine config.log and search for
"checking for libz", this will be an attempt to link a program against
libz. You might either have
a. No libz so youd have to get this package and install it
b. libz in some nonstandard location in which case do a ./configure
--help and you may be able to rerun configure with something like
./configure --with-zlib=/usr/local/
c. you have a scummy installation which for reasons known only to
themselves installed libz as libgz in whch case you may be able to work
around it by linking a libz.whatever to the appropiate libgz.whatever
and trying again. Suse was at this game at one stage.
d. the config.log might show someother problem with the link, perhaps
the headers are missing rather than the lib, you may need to install the
development version of that package depanding on your distribution.
Error like zlib.h not found.
Find the error in config.log and see does it make sense, check that you
have a libz.something in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib, and see if you have
a zlib.h in /usr/include or /usr/local/include
C.
