Gentlemen,

The library (/lib/libz.so.6) in FreeBSD 9.1R does seem to have Zlib 1.2.4 based 
on the complaints from the following at least:

libarchive.so.*
libssh.so.*
grep
gzip

I've provided objdump -p output from my machine:

----------------------------------------------------------------

If Zlib 1.2.7 were installed independently from tar.gz downloaded from zlib.net 
site, it produces,
/usr/local/lib/libz.so.1.2.7 which is different from /lib/libz.so.6 of course.
But this installs a /usr/local/include/zlib.h that is identical to 
/usr/src/lib/libz/zlib.h as well as /usr/include/zlib.h

The complaint mentioned before from dependent objects like libarchive that the 
"/lib/libz.so.6 containing ZLIB_1_2_4 is missing" results if one removes 
/lib/libz.so.6 and replaces with a symlink to the new version like:
/lib/libz.so.6 --> /usr/local/lib/libz.so.1.2.7

Given the version definitions from the objdump -p of the original 
/lib/libz.so.6 that was installed as part of a fresh, clean install of FreeBSD 
9.1R, as provided above, any thoughts on the Zlib version  actually baked into 
the release please?

Thanks.
Kris

I note that /usr/src/lib/libz/ChangeLog starts

                ChangeLog file for zlib

Changes in 1.2.7 (2 May 2012)

and the Symbol.map file has four sections, two of which are labelled ZLIB_1.2.7.0 and ZLIB_1.2.4.0.

This is getting beyond my experience as I'm very rusty on library handling tools, a core developer is what you need. However, a wild guess would be that it supports (or is intended to support) both 1.2.4 and 1.2.7 features.
