You install it properly with an rpm. If your vendor doesn't have one, you should express dissatisfaction with the the support. If you want to create a new one yourself, install your vendor's most recent source rpm and create another modelled on it. Install it, check it, and publish your work for the enjoyment of others and for your own fame;-) > > /Thomas Kern > /(301)903-2211 > > -----Original Message----- > From: Post, Mark K [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 03:12 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Zlib security alert > > > What is there to think?
