I think you are having a problem that is caused by a missing sim
link in your lib directory. I searched for libz.so.1 on my Slackware 3.0
machine and it isn't there. But info works on my machine.
You must have the new glibc which comes with version 3.5 and is
different. Go to your /lib directory and see if you have any libz.so.??
files. If you have a libz.so.2.1.3 for example then make a sim link to
libz.so.1 using the call:
ln -s libz.so.2.1.3 libz.so.1
This should fix your problem. Hope it does.
