Oops, I misunderstand the name of the library. I have 'libz' installed.
One possibility is the (os) installed version is 1.1.4. Is this version
to old?
Verified.
thanks for hunting that one down, Kiyo.
When I have libz.so.1.1.4 and link this to libz.so, the regression fails.
But when I have libz.so.1.2.3, the regression passes. This in only tested
on i386/linux and later I will check several other environments.
I am not sure which is the oldest version which is ok for kaffe.
The zlib site recommends against using versions older than 1.2.3 due to
security issues. [1]
Dalibor, could you please add some code to check the version of libz?
I could check if ZLIB_VERNUM >= 0x1230, and abort configure accordingly,
to make sure kaffe is built with zlib 1.2.3 or higher.
cheers,

"Version 1.2.3 eliminates potential security vulnerabilities in zlib
1.2.1 and 1.2.2, so all users of those versions should upgrade immediately."
